Heritage Society

The Heritage Society honors those persons who recognize Covenant in their estate plans. Planned giving donors provide essential support to the college. Most often, estate gifts help build the college's endowment, which provides valuable resources for student scholarships, faculty, and facilities. No minimum required gift amounts are required to join, and the Heritage Society is a lifetime membership (unless the gift is later retracted).

On September 19th, The Covenant College Foundation welcomed members of the Heritage Society to The Kirk for the 11th annual Heritage Society tea. Each year, an academic discipline is featured at the tea. This year's event featured the english department. Approximately 40 Heritage Society members enjoyed tea, scones, and desserts while hearing from assistant professor of english Dr. Heather Hess '09 and english student Madeleine Freace '26. Dr. Hess shared her passion for teaching about our Creator and His ongoing work to redeem all things to Himself. Madeleine shared about the joy she finds in studying english in a Christian academic setting among supportive students and faculty. College president, Dr. Brad Voyles, closed the time together by giving an update on the college and answering questions from Heritage Society members.
