About the Chalmers Center
The Chalmers Center for Economic Development at Covenant College helps churches to help the poor to help themselves. The methods we use center on the person of Jesus Christ. We believe that He is the only One who can give poor people the dignity, hope, and power they need to restore them to being what God created them to be: workers who can sustain themselves and bring glory to God in the process.

The Chalmers Center offers training for those in the US/Canada and for those outside of North America — Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This training is available through web-deployed distance learning courses, self-study courses, and week-long training institutes held throughout the world in partnership with churches and ministries.

The Chalmers Center is a part of Covenant College — a Christian college emphasizing a liberal arts education — and operates in association with the College's Department of Economics and Community Development.
