Faculty

The Church depends on trained leaders. We believe those who train such leaders should themselves be experienced gospel ministers, as well as deep scholars of God’s Word. At Covenant, you’ll get both. Our community of pastor-scholars practice rigorous academic excellence, practical pastoral experience, and love for the gospel and the church.
