Commencement is a momentous occasion when we at Covenant join our graduates and their families and friends in celebrating the accomplishments of these last years, thanking God for His grace and provision, and looking ahead to His purposes in the lives of our graduates. At Covenant, we earnestly believe that the One "who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

Below you will find information on our upcoming commencement exercises and related events. This information will be updated as details are finalized. We look forward to families and friends joining us for this celebration!

To accommodate the large crowd expected, Commencement will be held at the Chattanooga Convention Center in downtown Chattanooga.  With over 375 graduates participating in Commencement, and close to 4,000 seats for their guests, we expect to fill the hall to capacity.  Please come early!
