study abroad “Doing” is a major part of “knowing.” You’ll acquire invaluable knowledge from your professors and from your books…but you’ll also gain hands-on and heart-engaged learning through the global opportunities to study abroad in countries like Kenya, Ecuador, and Spain.

athleticsOn the court, the track, the playing field — this is where student athletes gain valuable life-lessons in training, teamwork, and testifying to God’s grace. Team members carry this knowledge when they travel to countries like Costa Rica to compete with local and international teams, minister to children and families, and share the Gospel.

Meet the future. Trinity alumni were once where you are right now. Making the decision of where to attend college…partnering with parents in the choice…looking to God for direction. Now you’re looking at some of them, the ones who chose Trinity, who were transformed by the experience, and who are living out their calling.
