Fuller's Brehm Center for Worship, Theology, and the Arts Presents Worship Summit
The Fuller Theological Seminary-based Brehm Center for Worship, Theology, and the Arts will hold its inaugural Worship Summit the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood Sun Valley, Idaho June 12-15.
This summit will draw many theologians, artists, pastors, church planters, and worship leaders together to confront the most fundamental questions concerning worship in today’s churches.
The series of events at the conference include discussion sessions, innovative worship experiences, and workshops aimed to prepare leaders for “postmodern and emerging contexts.” Also at the event, new ideas and art forms will be explored to further enhance the “devotional life of the Church.”

“As we identify the relationships between art, worship, and mission, the audience will have opportunities to discuss issues and concepts with speakers in both formal and informal settings,” says Clay Schmit, conference chair and associate professor of preaching at Fuller. “We hope to foster more than a few days’ discussion: we want to build a network of scholars, practitioners, and artists who will continue a robust collaboration on the issues surrounding the future of worship.”
“This Worship Summit emphasizes that a worship event is not a few performers entertaining many consumers, but rather affirms each person in discovering and developing their creativity to expand and enrich our understanding of God's generosity," adds Eddie Gibbs, professor of church growth at Fuller and a presenter at the summit.
