Seminary Graduate Specializing in Biblical/Theological Studies

Clayton C.

Hey there! My name is Clayton Covey! Learning about the Bible and teaching others the richness of the Bible is an endeavor that I have gone all in for. This passion has led me to pursue and complete my Master's in Divinity along with completing my Bachelor's Degree in Christian Studies with an Emphasis in Biblical Studies. These were both from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix Arizona.

It was to my great surprise when I realized Church History became my favorite class. However, this had nothing to do with the subject and everything to do with how my professor taught. He always engaged the students' learning by making lessons far more than just going over content, but actually proposing thoughtful questions that related to us in the present, utilizing relevant real life scenarios, role playing, etc...

Because of the impact that this had on my learning, I would approach tutoring sessions in the following ways; coming with lesson outlines that have reflective questions for application that will be dispersed throughout, providing vibrant videos that convey meaning of the main lessons we are going over, and having students come up with a 30 second elevator pitch that they could share with a friend based on what they have learned. I bring a fun and energetic personality to the table which creates a thriving environment where we can tackle the subjects together!

As for my experience, I have had the honor of working in youth and kids ministry settings over the last 5 years which has helped this generation connect the dots to the overarching story God is telling from beginning to end. I also have worked as an Instructional Assistant at GCU where I met with students by resourcing them with materials for their projects and papers as well as given lectures at the college level.

With this, I am excited to continue equipping students in their journey and look forward to set up a time to connect and to schedule a lesson. Thank you!
