Highlights
Why I teach at Covenant Theological Seminary
I have enjoyed teaching here because of the Seminary's mission statement as well as the quality of interaction between faculty and students. The faculty and administration care deeply about the students, and as a result expend significant time, resources, and energy in forming, empowering, and evaluating them so that they might be better prepared for a lifetime of ministry. Consequently, students' educational experience at Covenant Seminary will be holistically challenging and transforming.
