Dr. Kelly Kapic Announced as First Honorary Chair of Theology and Culture

Covenant College is pleased to announce that professor of theological studies, Dr. Kelly M. Kapic (PhD, King’s College London), has been named the college’s first honorary chair of theology and culture. Due to generous donor support, Dr. Kapic will be devoting one-third of his time to research, writing, and speaking, while two thirds will be devoted to teaching at Covenant. Following a sabbatical during the 2026–2027 academic year, Dr. Kapic will spend the subsequent two years teaching full time, continuing this pattern until his retirement.

“Dr. Kapic is a much beloved professor at Covenant, where he has taught faithfully since 2001,” states Dr. Collin Messer, vice president of academic affairs. “For almost twenty-five years, Kapic has poured himself into the Covenant community, being a highly regarded classroom teacher, a significant faculty voice, and someone who has done much behind the scenes for our institution.”
