The Westminster Shorter Catechism talks about sanctification as being "renewed in the whole man after the image of God" (WSC Q. 35).

Sanctification is a free gift of God to every believer, and we believe that it is crucial for future leaders in Christ's church during their time in seminary.

In your first year at Covenant, you will be placed in a 𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 designed to promote sustainability and resilience by helping you grow in emotional and spiritual health, relational skills, and wise conflict resolution through reflection on the story of God's grace in your life.

This grace of growth is not only for you, but for the benefit of those whom you will someday lead and serve.

"Pressing On Toward The Goal"

There will never be a point in the Christian life where we have arrived at the end of our spiritual growth. Yet, our experience of spiritual formation does change over the years.

We see in the apostle Paul's words in Philippians 3 a commitment to spiritual growth through two acts: forgetting and pursuing. Those two efforts are represented as continuous and synchronous. And both deserve our attention and reflection.
