Student Clubs & Organizations
Covenant has dozens of student clubs and organizations. These groups provide a great way to get to know a variety of students on campus, to develop leadership skills, and to explore and invest in particular areas of interest. Students with new ideas and passions are regularly adding new clubs and may contact Student Senate to join an existing club or to express an interest in starting a new club.
AAF is a student-led club under the oversight of the Cultural Diversity Program.
It gives students a chance to interact and identify with other African Americans to discuss various issues, such as how they are doing personally,
as well as any difficulties they are having. AAF desires to be more than just another clique, but rather a true fellowship which looks out for one another while fully engaging and serving in the greater Covenant and Chattanooga communities.
The purpose of the Art Club is to provide students with an appreciation for the visual arts and an opportunity to display artwork around campus. We hope to accomplish this by hosting art shows displaying the work of students and professors. We periodically invite guest speakers to exhibit their own work and lecture on related topics. We will also have an artist workshop where a guest artist will lead a workshop in a specific media, seeking to advance and enhance the art skills of students.

Covenant Ultimate strives to involve students in the sport of Ultimate, which has been defined by the Ultimate Players Association (UPA) board as a "player defined and controlled non-contact team sport played with a flying disc on a playing surface with end zones in which all actions are governed by the 'Spirit of the Game.'" As an official UPA rule of sportsmanship and respect which governs the playing of Ultimate, "Spirit of the Game" closely parallels our objectives which are to: (1) Demonstrate God and His love to other teams through attitude and sportsmanship, (2) Become proficient at the sport of Ultimate, and (3) Build strong relationships between players. We encourage all students to join even if they have never played Ultimate before or don't feel athletic enough because almost anyone can learn to play Ultimate regardless of athletic ability or previous experience.
President: Matt Quillian
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Jeff Dryden

We believe high- and middle- school students deserve the right to have genuine friendship and to know what life can hold for them. Young Life leaders are caring adults who come onto high and middle school campuses sharing the hope of a relationship with Jesus as well as fun and lasting friendships. From club and camp to Campaigners and other activities, teenagers will have a blast laughing, trying new things and being with their friends. We are involved with urban, suburban and rural students in Catoosa and Walker counties and hope to be in Dade County in the future.
