Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Covenant Theological Seminary For nearly 60 years, Covenant Seminary’s mission has been training pastors and those who serve beside them for ministry to Christ’s church. They profess and proclaim the historic Christian faith as revealed in Scripture and summarized in the Apostles’ Creed and the Statement of Faith of the National Association of Evangelicals. The Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms, although subordinate to the Bible in their authority, set forth our understanding of biblical truth in a consistent, The inspired and inerrant Word of God has the power to transform hearts and lives, and as such, it is at the center of our curriculum. Through a framework of covenant theology, students learn to study the Bible in its original languages, appropriately interpret the Bible as it was written to specific people at specific points in history, and effectively apply its timeless truths in various contemporary ministry contexts. http://www.covenantseminary.edu/
David & Emily Barnes – Reformed University Fellowship at the University of Missouri Reformed University Fellowship is a college campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Though affiliated with the PCA, RUF welcomes both the convinced and unconvinced about the truth of Christianity.
David was born in St. Louis, MO and grew up in a nominally Christian home. I was introduced to the Christian faith and baptized when I was 7 years old, but my faith dwindled until I got to college. During middle school and high school, I lived in what I refer to as my “wilderness years.” I transferred to Columbia to attend the University of Missouri (Mizzou) as a junior. During my time at Mizzou the Lord powerfully called me back to Himself! With the encouragement of my mentors, I applied to Covenant Theological Seminary to pursue my Master of Divinity (M.Div). In January 2015 I started attending Covenant, and shortly thereafter I started volunteering with the Youth at Covenant Presbyterian Church in St. Louis, MO. It was through this Youth Group that I met my lovely wife, Emily! I graduated from Covenant Seminary in December 2018, and moved to Prattville, AL to be the Assistant Pastor of Youth & Families at First Presbyterian Church. My heart for college students has really grown during my time in ministry and I relish the opportunity to serve them during this transformative time of their life, especially at my Alma Mater!!!
