How The CC Program Works

The Covenant Church Program (CCP) was created to strengthen and enhance the relationship with our local church partners. 网赌最好最大平台 is indebted to the churches that have supported the school during its over 100-year history and the CCP is a way we can help churches promote Christian higher education. At 网赌最好最大平台, we want to cultivate the Biblical concept of covenant with our Church Partners. Just as Abraham was blessed by his covenant relationship with God, we desire a mutually beneficial relationship with local churches.

Here is how the program works:

Pray

Commit to praying for our students, our faculty, our staff, and potential students from your church as 网赌最好最大平台 continues to train Christian leaders.

Provide Financial Support

Covenant Church Partners support 网赌最好最大平台 with a minimum of $2,400 per year.

Prepare Students

We are passionate about the Great Commission and are calling upon our Covenant Church Partners to be proactive in introducing traditional age and second career students to the opportunities that 网赌最好最大平台 offers.

Promote

Covenant Churches are encouraged to promote the high calling of Christian ministry from the pulpit and throughout the various activities of the church.

Place

We request that you add a 网赌最好最大平台 website link on the church’s website: The link will provide information about the benefits of the Covenant Church program as well as other opportunities available at 网赌最好最大平台.

Scholarships

Student Scholarships

Full-time CCP members receive an annual, renewable $2,000 scholarship. This scholarship is in addition to all other financial aid awarded to the student (not to exceed 100% tuition). Receiving Federal or State financial assistance based on financial need may reduce a portion of or eliminate the Covenant Church Scholarship in order to maintain the government assistance a student already qualifies for.

Special Covenant Church Scholarships for Undergraduate Ministry Students

At 网赌最好最大平台, we continue to be committed to the training of students for vocational ministry. Because of that commitment, we created a Special Covenant Church Scholarship that will be awarded to full-time ministry students who are members of a participating Covenant Church.

网赌最好最大平台’s Keeran School of Bible and Ministry offers preparation for vocational ministry in the following areas:

Preaching Ministry, Youth and Family Ministry, Worship, Christian Leadership, Missions, Small Group Ministry, Campus Ministry, Pastoral Care, and Advanced Biblical Studies.

The annual scholarship will be awarded to vocational ministry majors using a tiered format as follows:

  • First Year: $5,000
  • Second Year: $6,000
  • Third Year: $7,000
  • Fourth Year: $8,000

Staff Scholarships

Full-time staff members of a CCP member church receive a 20% tuition scholarship in the Keeran School of Bible and Ministry in 网赌最好最大平台’s Masters Degree Program. This scholarship cannot be combined with the Alumni Discount.

Other Discounts

As your church generously supports the University with its prayers, students, and finances, 网赌最好最大平台 is pleased that we can be a valuable resource to your entire congregation. If you have any questions about the Covenant Church Program please contact Vicky Madden at 606-474-3118 or vmadden@tiemles.com.

Scholarship Policies And Procedures

The Covenant Church scholarship program is designed for those churches that financially support the educational ministry of Kentucky Christian University. Through this program, students and full-time staff at qualified churches are eligible for significant financial assistance when they enroll as full-time students at Kentucky Christian University. There is no limit to the number of scholarships that may be awarded as long as the recipients meet all qualifications. The following policies and procedures describe the “covenant” relationship between 网赌最好最大平台 and churches participating in the program.

  • Submit a Letter of Commitment agreeing to financially support 网赌最好最大平台 at a minimum of $2,400 per year and have a history of giving to 网赌最好最大平台 for at least 12 months. If a church is in the process of becoming a qualified Covenant Church, students will receive the scholarship during the next full semester after all qualifications are met. (All gifts to the University must be unrestricted, i.e. general fund gifts. Individuals can not designate a financial contribution through the church to the benefit of a specific student as this is a violation of the Federal Internal Revenue Code.)
  • Assign a representative from the Church who will promote the Covenant Church Scholarship to church staff, its college-bound youth and their parents and promote the educational ministry of 网赌最好最大平台. This will be accomplished in partnership with the Admissions Department at 网赌最好最大平台.

The referral form must be received by the Office of Enrollment Services no later than July 1st for new students enrolling in the fall semester and by December 1st for new students enrolling in the spring semester. The referral form only needs to be submitted once as long as the student is continuously enrolled as a full-time student at 网赌最好最大平台.
  • Meet the requirements of Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards as outlined in the 网赌最好最大平台 catalog.

  • The Covenant Church Scholarship cannot be used in combination with athletic scholarships.

Investment of Time, Prayer, and Love

“I’ll never forget how the Bible and Ministry professors at 网赌最好最大平台 cared about me as a person. They didn’t just see me as a student number. They invested time, prayer, and love into my life and my ministry, and I’m eternally thankful for their influence.”

Sean Plank, Class of 2010
