Join Leaders in the Arena for a special conversation with Brad Voyles, President of Covenant College, as he shares the vision shaping Covenant’s next chapter.
At the heart of Covenant’s strategy is a bold commitment to send out builders—graduates formed in faith, courage, and calling, prepared to serve the church and the world as participants in Christ’s work of making all things new. Under President Voyles’ leadership, Covenant has experienced record enrollment growth, signaling renewed momentum and confidence in its mission. This session will explore the theological vision behind this strategy, the Flourish initiative’s role in shaping vocational calling through place-based engagement, and what faithful, servant leadership looks like when guiding institutional transformation.
