What a PCA College Means


Covenant College is the College of the Presbyterian Church in America

 

In All Things Christ Preeminent.


At Covenant College, our motto is more than a slogan. It is, in fact, the very heart of what it means to be the College of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).


One of the faster growing denominations in the country, the PCA has a strong commitment to evangelism, missions, faithfulness to the scriptures, and Christian education.


Grounded in the principles of a liberal arts education, the teaching and learning that takes place at Covenant is based on these beliefs…


We believe the Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.


We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.


We believe that salvation is by God alone, based on His grace, not on any human individual merit.


We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.


We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His covenant promises.


We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.


We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.


We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
