The church deserves trained leaders.

Church leaders should be equipped in the Bible, ministry skills, and be committed to spiritual growth, both for themselves and others. However, many church leaders don't last in ministry because they are missing one of these areas.

Our curriculum is designed to:

  • grow you in your walk with Christ

  • equip you to preach & teach the Bible

  • develop a theological outlook rooted in Scripture

  • enhance your ministry skills

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”

2 Timothy 2:15

The Covenant Experience

Most people don't last in ministry because they feel frustrated and under-prepared. At Covenant Theological Seminary our unique whole-person training produces capable pastors and ministry leaders. The result is that you have an impact and can flourish for a lifetime of ministry while the church gets the faithful leadership it deserves.

Biblical Faithfulness

Learn the Bible from the ones who translated it. Our faculty were the largest contributors to the ESV Study Bible.

Spiritual Formation

Our unique whole-person approach helps you draw closer to Jesus. You'll grow in emotional and spiritual depth as you study the Bible.

Pastoral Excellence

Our faculty aren't just Bible scholars. They're pastors who teach you how to serve the Church as you rightly handle the word of truth.

Cultural Engagement

Learn to apply the gospel to the world around you. You’ll grow in your ability to effectively and winsomely reach non-believers for Christ.
