“When God said now was the time, I stepped out on faith.”- Apostle Karen Simmons

Apostle Karen Simmons

My life story would take forever to tell. So I will only speak of my right now chapters. I’ve been preaching for 28 years. Anybody in ministry will tell you that after that amount of time you tend to lean on what you already know, and your study habits become routine. I have been trying to receive my Doctorate in Theology for years , and every time I attempted it was unsuccessful ,but when God said,” now was the time,” I stepped out on faith. Someone recommended Covenant International. When I finally met Dr. Dawson and Dr. Vanish, my life changed. They were motivators ,and agitators, and gave encouragement that pivoted me , and provoked me into a passion to know more. The school experience was amazing and when you left one class, you could not wait for the next. The school advocates to ensure that you can stand to toe to toe with any other school. They are personally invested in your success, and they ensure it by never letting you give up, being there for every challenge ,and getting you over the line. And May 2024 I received my Masters in Theology and will receive my Doctorate in May 2025. This would not have happened without Covenant International
