Cultural Engagement
We aim to inspire intercultural unity for the sake of Christ by promoting dialogue and growth in matters of spiritual formation, justice, and diversity. We also partner with ministries around the world and down the street to connect students with cross-cultural opportunities and provide opportunities for reconciliation and renewal.
Graduate Intercultural Initiatives
We believe in moving towards wholeness and healing that reflects the body of Christ. By gathering, sharing our stories and experiences, developing healthy relationships with one another across racial, ethnic and cultural differences, we open the door to awareness and empathy. There are several cross-cultural groups on campus open to graduate students. Each group is committed to celebrating differences, sharing commonalities and working together to build the kingdom of God on earth.

Gospel in the Public Square (GPS)
The Gospel in the Public Square seeks to bridge the gap between the Trinity Community, the classroom, and the culture at large. Through multiple events held on campus throughout the year, GPS invites Trinity faculty and other experts to speak on cultural issues in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the hope of GPS to equip future church leaders to engage with often difficult cultural issues that every Christian must address in a loving and biblically based manner.
