Tour with Ligonier Ministries

For more than five centuries, the legacy of the English and Scottish Reformation has shaped the development of Reformed theology in the English-speaking world.

During this seven-day study tour, we will explore key sites from the English and Scottish Reformation as we seek to understand this pivotal period in church history. Join us as we travel from London to Edinburgh to consider how the Reformers proclaimed the great truths of the Christian faith and how their labors have left a rich heritage of faithfulness to God’s Word.
