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.” TEDS seeks to embody a Christian unity that encourages cultural intersection, embraces shared insight, and equips Christian leaders for world impact through the biblical mission of reconciliation with God and others. Our goal is that through our studies and actions we create a legacy for building bridges in love in the communities where we live and serve.
