Covenant College

Theological posture

Confessional Reformed

Trustees and faculty are documented as subscribing to a Reformed confession (the Westminster Standards, the Three Forms of Unity or similar).

Doctrinal basis. Faculty annually subscribe to the inerrancy of Scripture, the Westminster Standards and the college's Statement of Community Beliefs (byFaith). Its board of trustees is elected by the PCA General Assembly.

Points to weigh

• Official college of the PCA, with denominational oversight of its board.
• A recent core-curriculum update drew criticism from some conservative Reformed commentators, who questioned the direction of the college and how its faculty engage secular scholarship (Aquila Report).
• In 2023 the confessional Reformed writer R. Scott Clark recommended Covenant College to parents, citing its student-handbook policy on sex and gender (Heidelblog).
• Assessments differ; families wanting the stricter end of PCA and OPC practice should read the Community Statement of Beliefs and faculty statements directly.
