Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) is the divinity school of Trinity International University. We offer doctoral and master’s degree programs in Illinois, Korea, and at extension sites in the U.S. Whichever location you choose, you’ll find a variety of evangelical denominations and theological traditions teaching, studying, serving, and worshiping together.

Entrusted with the Gospel

Trinity Evangelical Divinity School is the premier institution preparing the next generation of ministers and academic scholars. The Trinity faculty is among the most widely published in evangelical academia and has deeply influenced the leaders shaping the present and future of evangelical Christianity across the globe. TEDS is a broadly evangelical school that prides itself on theological diversity and encourages respectful engagement in difficult conversations and topics while remaining committed to the inerrancy of Scripture. Since our founding, we have taught creative and critical thinking while upholding gospel fidelity in an effort to fulfill the age-old adage, “in the essentials unity, in the non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity.”

The DNA of Trinity

We are a diverse community of cultures, church traditions, ideas, experiences, and stories. Our students come from all walks of life, different parts of the country, and around the world with a variety of experiences, hopes, and dreams. Yet we share the same DNA. We are all entrusted with the gospel—which requires us to know it, live it, and make it known. We seek to join faith and learning in a distinctive way at each of our TIU schools, inspiring possibilities as you explore how your Christian faith impacts every area of life.
Our collective desire to worship in faithfulness, mentor in hope, and build bridges in love unifies us all as we pursue academic excellence.
