Fall ’24 Chapel Schedule Offers Opportunities “To Glorify the Triune God”

Covenant Seminary is gearing up for a new semester of classes, and that means a new series of weekly Chapel services is also set to begin. Drawing inspiration from a phrase in the Seminary’s mission statement, the overarching theme for the fall 2024 Chapel series is “To Glorify the Triune God.”

The schedule of preachers features several members of Covenant’s faculty and staff—such as President Dr. Tom Gibbs, Rev. James Dickson, Dr. Aaron Goldstein, Dr. Robbie Griggs, Dr. Drew Martin, Dr. Jay Sklar, and Dr. Thurman Williams—as well as guest preachers from around the PCA and beyond, including Dr. Ed Dunnington, Rev. Ronnie Garcia, Rev. Josiah Green, Rev. John Trapp, and Rev. Mike Werkheiser.

A particular highlight of the series will be a visit to Covenant on October 9 by renowned recording artist, author, and CTS graduate Laura Story, who will lead music during Chapel that day and conduct a special Ministry Lunch program for students on planning and leading worship music.  

The fall series kicks off with the annual Convocation service on Wednesday, August 28, featuring guest speaker Dr. Bob Flayhart, Founding Pastor at Large of Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Birmingham, Alabama.

Held in Covenant’s Rayburn Chapel every Wednesday at 10 a.m. throughout the semester (except for short Fall and Thanksgiving breaks), Chapel is a treasured time for students, faculty, staff, and their families to come together as a body for worship, prayer, exhortation, and fellowship. The broader community around the Seminary campus is also invited to attend.

The full schedule is listed below. For the latest updates, be sure to check the Seminary Calendar.
