“Covenant” Is More Than a Name—It’s a Way of Life

The name “Covenant” reflects our conviction that all we are and all we have as Christians is the result of a unique relationship that God himself has ordained. Out of his grace alone, God entered into a covenant with us that we do not deserve and that we could not have arranged on our own initiative. In love, he eternally bound us to himself through the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ, so that, by faith alone, we would be his people.

This belief in God's redemptive covenantal work throughout history shapes Covenant Seminary's teaching, ministry, and way of life. Students and professors search the Scriptures together in obedient love, seeking to know God's Word and be transformed by it into people whose lives reflect the message of divine grace and who are able to proclaim that message with power and with passion in all that they do.

Whether you live on or off campus, there are abundant opportunities every day to participate in the covenantal life of the seminary community and to enjoy the rich social and cultural life of the St. Louis area. We invite you to join us in this uniquely biblical way of living, learning, and growing together in grace.

With the apostle Paul, we "pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may ... grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ" (Eph. 3:17-18), so that, when you go forth from here to wherever God calls you to serve, you will be equipped, by his grace, to speak the truth in love to a world in need of hope
