Yes; covenant theology is the structure of Reformed theology. The famous (or infamous depending on your perspective) Five Points of Calvinism (or TULIP), developed out of a maturing federal theology as expressed in the writings of Calvin, Ursinus, Beza, Bullinger etc.
Without covenant theology TULIP never would have been adopted or fully expressed because Mr. Arminius adopted a covenant theology that was distinct and contrary to the Belgic Confession and Heidelberg Catechism.
