Covenant Theological Seminary, sometimes known as Covenant Seminary,〔 is the denominational seminary of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).〔(Covenant Theological Seminary, Records )〕〔American Council on Education, ''American Universities and Colleges'', 15th ed., Walter de Gruyter, 1997, ISBN 3-11-014689-4, p. 885.〕 It is located in St. Louis, Missouri, and its purpose is to train leaders for work in the church and the world — especially as pastors, missionaries, and counselors. It does not require all students to be members of the PCA, but it is loyal to the teachings of its denomination. Faculty must subscribe to the system of doctrine as outlined in the Westminster Standards.〔(Doctrine )〕 ==History== The seminary was established by Christians in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, (which later merged with the Reformed Presbyterian Church, General Synod to form Reformed Presbyterian Church-Evangelical Synod), who believed that their denomination, born out of resistance to rising liberal influences, needed a strong theological school of its own. In 1956, Covenant College and Seminary began with eleven students on a plot of land a few miles west of St. Louis, Missouri (having split from Faith Theological Seminary〔 Harriet A. Harris, ''Fundamentalism and Evangelicals'', Oxford University Press, 2008, ISBN 0-19-953253-2, (p. 260 )〕). The seminary continued to grow in both size and reputation in the years that followed. In 1964, having outgrown its space, the liberal arts undergraduate school, Covenant College, along with its students, faculty, and staff, moved to Lookout Mountain, Georgia to the site of a former luxury hotel.〔William F. Hull, ''Lookout Mountain'', Arcadia Publishing, 2009, ISBN 0738566446, (p. 94. )〕 In 1966, the two institutions formally divided. In 1982, following another denominational merger (known as the "joining and receiving") between the Reformed Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church in America, Covenant Seminary became the national seminary of the PCA, which elects and oversees the work of the seminary's Board of Trustees.〔Rick Nutt, "The Tie That No Longer Binds: The Origins of the Presbyterian Church in America."
