Tour with Ligonier Ministries

The Swiss Reformation was a defining moment in church history, shaping the global spread of Reformed theology for centuries to come.

During this journey across beautiful Switzerland, we will explore how Reformers like Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin sought to align the life and doctrine of the church with God’s Word. As we reflect on Ephesians 2:19–22, we will discover how the efforts of these and other Reformers were guided by the conviction that the church is God’s household established on the foundation of Christ and growing into a dwelling place for His glory.

Join us for an unforgettable seven-day study tour as we visit historic sites from Zurich to Geneva and consider the lasting impact of the Swiss Reformation on Christian worship, doctrine, and missions.
