Ligonier Ministries


Ligonier Ministries is an international Christian discipleship organization headquartered in the greater Orlando, Florida area. It was founded by R. C. Sproul in the Ligonier Valley, Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh in 1971. Ligonier's monthly devotional magazine is Tabletalk. Editor of Tabletalk, Burk Parsons, states "It is foremost desire to awaken as many people as possible to the holiness of God by proclaiming, teaching, and defending God’s holiness in all its fullness." Sproul and Ligonier are particularly known for their teaching of Reformed theology.
They produce the Renewing Your Mind radio broadcasts, the Reformation Study Bible, and Tabletalk magazine. They also publish books written by Sproul and other contemporary authors and theologians through the Reformation Trust Publishing imprint. The ministry offers teaching series, as well as offering undergraduate degrees through Reformation Bible College and an online learning program through Ligonier Connect. Ligonier hosts national and regional conferences annually.
The primary teachers with Ligonier are its teaching fellows: Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, Steven J. Lawson, Stephen J. Nichols, Burk Parsons, and Derek W.H. Thomas.
In September 2015 the founder's son, R. C. Sproul Jr., was suspended from the ministries until July 1, 2016 for visiting the Ashley Madison site. Dr. R.C. Sproul, Jr. resigned from Ligonier Ministries and Reformation Bible College in December 2016 for personal reasons.
