Faculty involvement in worldwide Christianity--through teaching, research, cross-cultural mission trips, and the ongoing encouragement of Covenant Seminary graduates serving in many parts of the world--enables our professors to bring a global, Kingdom perspective to the courses they teach as they strive to embody the Christian faith in relation to language, culture, and other religious traditions. Professor Jerram Barrs and Dr. Richard Winter, for example, were both raised in Great Britain and spent many years working with L'Abri Fellowship in Greatham, England. Dr. Hans Bayer, is a native of Germany where he formerly served as a church planter and seminary instructor. Many other faculty members have experience in sharing God's grace in with others in the Bahamas, Japan, Uganda, the Netherlands, Ukraine, India, Korea, Australia, and other countries.

Covenant Seminary's World Mission office and International Partnerships Committee cooperate with a wide range of academic institutions, international ministries, evangelical mission agencies, academic societies, and churches to foster a greater awareness among our students of mission activities and internship opportunities. Partnering agencies include Mission to the World (MTW, the international mission agency of the Presbyterian Church in America), Presbyterian Mission International (PMI), and schools and ministries located outside of the United States.

The World Mission office provides a number of resources to encourage students in gaining a broader Kingdom perspective.
