Our Vision: To impact eternity and the church presently by equipping leaders to exposit the Scriptures in both national and international settings for the glory of God.
Our Mission: To meet potential students where they are in their calling and unique ministries and to design a quality and affordable program of study that addresses their individual goals and needs.
Our Values:
• We are committed to the local church and its ministry settings as the prime training venue for developing church leaders.
• We are not called to build great edifices to evidence our effectiveness, but to build great lives that impact others by the living Christ.
• We do not call our students to come away to be trained, but to remain faithful in their present assignment.
• We commit ourselves to design innovative and personalized development plans that equip leaders to be dynamic and effective servants of God.
• Our extensions, whether in the U.S. or internationally, will be founded upon a partnership with a local church or group of churches and led by those currently involved in ministry and equipping the saints.
• The ultimate call of any leader is to “equip the saints for the work of the ministry for the building up of the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12). Only those proven committed and effective in this assignment shall be Covington professors or leaders.
• Training and equipping are not optional for any spiritual leader, therefore we must do all within our ability to make training both accessible and affordable to any servant of God that is willing to make the commitment.
• Partnership, interdependence, and networking are kingdom principles upon which we can see our Lord do His mighty work.
• The exposition of the Scriptures is an essential skill for any leader in the body of Christ and for any minister in the Kingdom of Christ so we will give adequate attention to the development of this skill.
