About Bruce
Bruce Grimmet is a Doctor of Ministry candidate at Knox Theological Seminary, where his research focuses on how liturgical practices form believers. Drawing on patristic sources, Reformed liturgical theology, and over two decades of ministry experience, Bruce helps churches understand how their liturgies shape spiritual formation in profound ways.
"It is not enough to install liturgical pieces; they must also be taught and understood. Implementation and catechesis together produce formation."
Frequently Asked Questions
Every church has a liturgy—the question is whether it's a conscious, forming one or an unconscious, default one. This material applies to all Christian traditions because all churches order their worship in some way. Discipled By Liturgy simply helps you understand and intentionally shape that order so it forms believers in Christ.
Not at all. Think of it in terms of the horse and chariot metaphor: liturgical formation is the horse (the primary, communal driver of spiritual growth), and personal devotions are the chariot (how you ride and direct that formation in your individual walk). One doesn't eliminate the other—they work together. The ordering we propose places corporate liturgy as foundational, with personal practices deepening and personalizing that work.
This work draws on Reformed liturgical theology, patristic wisdom, and insights from across the universal Church. While rooted in a Reformed perspective, the principles and practices discussed resonate across denominations and traditions. The goal is to recover and articulate truths about liturgical formation that the early Church understood and that benefit all believers today.
Real formation is slow, deep work—like an oak tree growing. You won't transform your church overnight. However, even small, intentional changes in how you order and teach your liturgy can show visible shifts in congregational understanding and spiritual posture within weeks. The real fruit comes over years as practices sink into muscle memory and shape hearts.
Absolutely. In fact, using the assessment across your entire leadership team is one of the most powerful applications. When everyone engages the same assessment questions, it becomes a powerful conversation starter about your shared vision for liturgical formation and reveals where there's alignment—or healthy disagreement—about how your church shapes spiritual growth.
