VOCATIONAL VISION

●  To educate and equip believers with biblically informed Christ-centered theological instincts so that they may live faithfully and serve sacrificially.

●  To provide accessible scholarship that is theologically rich, historically informed, relevant to the present, and helpful for the future. This includes writing and speaking in the areas of systematic, historical, and practical theology.

●  To promote collaboration because I believe our theology is sharpened and the community is better served when robust communication and relationships accompany teaching and scholarship.

Family

Kelly and Tabitha Kapic were both originally Californians, but after getting married in 1993 they spent a few years outside of Chicago and then three years in Orlando before moving overseas. During their years in London they both completed further degrees while Tabitha also worked at the US Embassy. Since 2001 ,they have lived on Lookout Mountain, GA. Kelly teaches at Covenant College and Tabitha works at the Chalmers Center. They have two adult children, Jonathan and Margot Kapic. Most recenlty Jonathan married his college sweetheart, Juliette.
