About St. Louis
The St. Louis metro area provides an immense level of access while maintaining one of the nation's lowest costs of living for a major city. The city gives Covenant Seminary students not only easy access to world-class cultural events, but also an unparalleled level of ministry training opportunities.
The City
Attractions
St. Louis is home to many landmark features. Forest Park is almost 500 acres larger than Central Park in NYC and is home to the city's major museums (and they're all free). The city draws major art and music shows, not to mention some of the best professional sports teams in their leagues.
Neighborhoods
St. Louis is a series of connected neighborhoods. Each one is unique. Each offers a different feeling of community.
Ease of access
Want to go downtown for a baseball game? 20 minutes. Want to go fishing in the country? 20 minutes. Airport? 15 minutes. Forest Park for a run? 15 minutes. Covenant Seminary's campus is located conveniently at the crossing of two of the city's major interstates. Which means the benefits of the metro area are all within a close drive.
Ministry Potential
Suburban churches. Rural churches. Inner-city churches. St. Louis has them all, and most are glad to offer internship abilities. If you wanted to look just within the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), you'll find the highest concentration of PCA churches for any city in America.
Counseling Opportunities
The St. Louis area has a vast number of internship sites for future counselors. Our counseling department actively maintains relationships with internship supervisors across the city, and will work to place our MA in Counseling students in a counseling agency that suits their career goals.
