We're here to develop Christian leaders with a global perspective.
Trinity is a private and independent 4-year Christian college, regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Founded in 1944, Trinity began as an arm of the Minneapolis-based Lutheran Bible Institute with the mission of training laypersons in Bible Study. Today the college is a regionally recognized Christian liberal arts college, with 80% of our alumni holding leadership roles in their spiritual communities.
Faith Tradition
The Lutheran expression of the Christian faith emphasizes God’s grace in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Word and the Sacraments are the means of grace by which God’s love reaches people today. The gift of faith through the means of grace makes people right with God and empowers them as inheritors of eternal life.
Trinity Lutheran College accepts and acknowledges the Canonical Books of the Old and New Testaments as the revealed Word of God.
The college acknowledges the three ecumenical creeds of the Trinitarian Christian tradition: The Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.
