John Calvin is considered by many to be second only to Augustine as the world’s most widely-read theologian. His Institutes of the Christian Religion, a summation of Reformation thought, greatly contributed to the spread of Protestantism in France, Switzerland, and Scotland.

Casterbridge can present your church group with a customized John Calvin Tour, a journey over the course Calvin took as a leader of the Protestant Reformation. A wide variety of historical visits await you on a John Calvin Tour, including the following:

  • Explore the French commune of Noyon, John Calvin’s birthplace, where you can visit his childhood home and the John Calvin Museum.
  • Tour the University of Paris, where Calvin studied.
  • Discover Strasbourg, where Calvin settled in 1538 after banishment from Geneva. He published his Commentary on Romans here, the first of many Bible commentaries.
  • Follow Calvin’s steps in Geneva, his “shining city on a hill,” where you can visit the Cathedrale de Saint-Pierre and the Temple de l’Auditoire, both of which hosted many of Calvin’s sermons.
  • Also visit the International Museum of the Reformation in Geneva, which holds a permanent Calvin exhibit and brings the history of the Reformation to live.

We would be happy to build your John Calvin Tour around sites relevant to Calvin’s life and the growth of the Reformation. Likewise, we understand that many groups enjoy combining visits to Christian Heritage sites with opportunities for exploring other renowned attractions. Casterbridge Church Tours will work directly with you to design the John Calvin Tour that adheres to the needs and goals of your group.

Casterbridge can include meetings with a local church along your itinerary as well as a worship service led by your minister. Feel free to bring your church choir on a John Calvin Tour, as we have a wide portfolio of potential venues large and small for choral performances. Finally, if your group feels led to mission work, we can provide opportunities for service in churches, hospitals, and homes for the elderly and underprivileged.
