History
Founder(s) R.C. Sproul

Ligonier Ministries is a Reformed international Christian organization headquartered in the greater Orlando, Florida area. It was founded by R. C. Sproul in the Ligonier Valley, Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh in 1970. Ligonier's stated purpose is "to awaken as many people as possible to the holiness of God by proclaiming, teaching, and defending God’s holiness in all its fullness."[1] Sproul and Ligonier are particularly known for their teaching of Reformed theology, of which Calvinism is an important facet.

They produce the Renewing Your Mind radio broadcasts, the Reformation Study Bible (ESV), and Tabletalk magazine. They also as 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[2] and a Doctor of Ministry and distance learning programs through Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies. Ligonier hosts national and regional conferences annually.[3]

In September 2015 the founder's son, R. C. Sproul Jr., was suspended from the ministries until 1 July 2016 for visiting the Ashley Madison site.[4]
