The 1955

 

 

 
In 1955, Covenant College’s founders stepped out in faith to establish a Christian liberal arts college. With a worthy vision, a strong work ethic, and deep trust in the Lord, these courageous believers laid the foundation for the college. This all began at the corner of East Walnut Street and North Oakland Avenue in Pasadena, CA.

Covenant in Pasadena

Pasadena City Church, where Covenant rented our first classroom space.

 

Worship at laundry room

A majority of the student body of 1960, along with faculty and staff, gathers in the St. Louis laundry room for songs and skits.

 

These men and women sacrificed money and successful careers, comfort and stability. They rooted themselves and the college in the vision of making Christ preeminent in all things, which became our official motto: In all things Christ preeminent. Before long, Covenant College moved to St. Louis, MO, where we shared a campus with Covenant Seminary. We quickly outgrew that space and relocated to the “Castle in the Clouds” in 1964.

 

Castle In The Clouds
Covenant College’s founders initiated a legacy, laying a foundation for students to become theologically-trained, thoughtful, faithful Christians. Some of them never got to see what Covenant would become, yet we benefit from the fruits of their labor each day. We are proud to follow in the footsteps of these pioneers.
Covenant Today

Dr. Hans Madueme teaches a class on Covenant's current campus.

In light of this legacy, Covenant College is launching The 1955, a group of committed givers partnering closely with us to continue this mission.

 

 

Carter Hall - The 1955

 

To join The 1955, we ask you to contribute at least $1,955 to Covenant annually, thus financially participating in the ongoing work of the college. We hope to thank those who partner with Covenant in this way through special events, updates, and opportunities to regularly connect with us. With the support of The 1955 members, we will continue to teach, equip, and disciple students to be the next generation of leaders who are faithfully following Jesus in all things.
