Covenant College

In all things Christ preeminent.
The Covenant experience is deeply interconnected where the whole person is seen and formed as students are equipped, known, and called alongside faculty, staff, and peers who confess Christ’s preeminence in all things.
We are the college of the Presbyterian Church in America, which means Reformed theology impacts everything we teach and do and we believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. But, you don’t have to be PCA to come to Covenant! 50% of our students come from other denominations, adding to the richness of our Christian community.
We believe true spiritual growth comes from encountering Jesus as a community. From chapel to the classroom and from residence halls to athletic fields, students find transformative spiritual enrichment throughout their Covenant experience as faculty, staff, and peers disciple each other and grow together.
"'Chapel at Covenant is different.’ That is a statement we hear multiple times every year. Cell phones and other electronics are not allowed, and our students are intentional about being present to the Lord, to our speakers, and to one another. We worship together, we encounter Jesus together with a wide array of speakers, and we stand together in a place where generations of saints have gone before us. Chapel at Covenant is different, and we praise God for that.” — Grant Lowe, Chaplain
Covenant students attend chapel, participate in Bible studies, worship on their halls, and are involved in discipleship, yet attendance and faithful service in the local church is encouraged by faculty and staff alike.
“Covenant creates a community in which young Christians are able to be developed through wise counsel. Whether it’s a professor, coach, faculty member, or local pastor, each impacted my spiritual formation consistently and faithfully. The cultivation of my faith at Covenant has been a blessing and will undoubtedly have lasting eternal value.” — Jacob Sitton ’25

“Being equipped, known, and called has definitely been true in my experience. Everybody talks about the community at Covenant, but that doesn’t happen overnight; that happens because of really intentional leadership and guidance. Just being known is crucial for feeling called to a higher standard by the people around me.”
“Covenant College is a small Christian liberal arts school that seeks to show that, in all things, Christ is preeminent—in academics, in daily life, in everything that we do. Christ is preeminent, and therefore it is worth doing well.”
“Studying environmental biology at Covenant has offered me a multitude of opportunities concerning how to be a good steward of God's creation. Throughout the courses I've taken, I have delighted in getting to explore field-based research and developing new perspectives on the beautiful handiwork of God's creation.”
