OUR MISSION

Entrusted with the Gospel

Trinity Evangelical Divinity School is the premier institution preparing the next generation of ministers and academic scholars. The TEDS 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.”

Student Testimonials

“TEDS is such a worthwhile institution, a worthwhile space that’s been cultivated by the administration and the faculty. It’s been a life-changing experience, a place that I know I’m going to look back on knowing it was foundational to my vocational work as a pastor and as a theologian. I’m just grateful to not only those who have donated but those who have helped to preserve, build up this institution, and keep it a faithful institution dedicated to God’s Word. I think that’s just so necessary moving forward in our current landscape.”

“It’s essential for folks who give to remember that they are giving to the extension of the gospel, not to a logo or a legacy of an institution. They are giving to the cause of Christ. They are creating more disciples.”

“Thank you for being obedient to the call to support institutions like Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. I had a former pastor of mine who used to say, ‘One person’s obedience is connected to a thousand destinies.’ And I really believe that. People can’t overestimate the impact that they’re having by donating to TEDS. They don’t know how they are building the Kingdom up, building up believers. Thank you, and be encouraged that what may seem like a small seed can be a huge investment!”

”I have developed a hunger for a deep and robust understanding of Scripture, an eye toward critical evaluation of our world through a variety of disciplines, and a cloud of co-laborers to look to for inspiration, advice, and support,”

”Your contribution will truly leave a long-lasting impact on a student like me whose life was remarkably changed and empowered through my academic and spiritual training at TEDS. Your donation will help students to stay true to the Gospel which draws them to be obedient to God’s calling and to be commissioned to where God has appointed.”

”The opportunities, the new ways of thinking, the broadened scope, and the passion created in a higher education setting are beyond compare. In a world devaluing long-form thought, the ability to discuss issues all the way to the bottom is a skill that’s being lost….TEDS is such a beautiful place to engage that, and for someone like me who wouldn’t have been able to afford that by myself, you know those donors made a huge difference. I could not overstate the power of higher education, or specifically the theological integrative and cultural integrative seminary like TEDS…I would want as many people as possible to have that opportunity!”
