Bring New Depth to Your Ministry
Interpret Scripture faithfully so that you can teach it. Learn how to articulate the Christian faith so that you can defend it. Understand the over-arching story of the Bible so that you can preach it. Penetrate the tension points between the Bible and today’s culture so that your voice will be a prophetic one. Trinity offers you an excellent education not for its own sake, but for the sake of who God has called you to be. In all of our programs, we seek to combine the theoretical and the practical, the pastoral and the intellectual. You will learn not only from lectures but from experiences built into the programs and from a community of students learning with you. We prepare you rigorously in every aspect of your education, because we know that you graduate from Trinity to the front lines of Christian ministry.
Flexible Options
Trinity has regional centers in Davie, Florida and Dolton (South Chicago), Illinois and Extension Sites in the following locations:
Akron, OH
Madison, WI
Columbus, OH
Milwaukee, WI

We also offer a host of online courses through Distance Education.

Giving Credit Where Credit is Due
You can receive Trinity graduate credit for NISET courses, including: and begin working on a seminary degree. This course work may be applied toward the free electives in all programs, or limited electives in the applicable programs. All you need to do is submit the one-page special Visiting Student Application form before you can earn Trinity credit for these courses. You can combine your staff training with ongoing Distance Education classes on line and, if you are close to any of our extension site locations, with ongoing extension classes moving you ever closer to completing a theological degree at Trinity without having to leave ministry.
