The Princeton Seminary community gathers daily for worship in Miller Chapel, including a weekly celebration of the Lord’s Supper. The ecumenical and cultural diversity of our community is reflected in a great variety of liturgical and musical expression from around the world. Led by students, faculty, and administrators, in consultation with the Janice Ammon, Minister of the Chapel, and Martin Tel, Director of Music, worship in Miller Chapel plays a formative role in shaping seminarians as worship leaders.

Similarly, for those in the Master of Divinity program, further opportunities for honing their skills in worship leadership come from their placements by the Office of Field Education, directed by Deborah Davis. Serving in congregations and chaplaincies provides students opportunities to learn about planning for the various services, occasions, and contexts of worship under the guidance of skilled supervisors.

Reflecting on what is most faithful to Christian worship as well as what is most fitting for any particular community is central to the curriculum. Beginning in the fall semester of 2008, the Seminary is launching a new course, "Introduction to Christian Worship." An elective focusing on the history, theology, and practice of the rites and ceremonies of the ecumenical church, this new course will serve as a gateway to more specialized electives. These will enable students to focus on particular facets of worship (such as music or the administration of the sacraments), or to prepare for their ordination or subsequent pastoral work by studying the traditions of particular denominations or ethnic communities.

Courses in ritual studies, the history of worship, and the theological and ethical implications of worship are frequently offered by the other departments of the Seminary. Students are also able to take courses at Westminster Choir College of Rider University, whose Department of Sacred Music is world renowned.
