Highlights
Why I Teach at Covenant Theological Seminary
Having taught at Covenant in 1991-96, I returned in 2010 aware that this is a premier location for equipping Christian leaders to move to the next level in their service to Christ. The vision and quality of the students is remarkable; the faculty is diverse yet united; the administration is clear about our mission; the staff are dedicated and selfless. I believe these are high-water times in the history of this seminary. I am thankful to have a part in this community of worship and ministry through our study, learning, and furthering of God's Kingdom mission together.
