Student and Graduate Testimonials

"As a graduate, I got a world class administration degree at a master level education. The quality of information, the one day webinars, or independent study classes were great and worked out well for me a working dad and minister."
World Class Administration Degree Jon KrauseJon Krause, 2013 Graduate
"It has been one of the highest privileges of my life to have studied at Trinity College of the Bible and Trinity Theological Seminary. I studied at Trinity because the theological stance held there has been that which I have held to for most of my life. It was discovered to me that the courses which I studied were both informative and rigorous. The persons who marked my work were exacting in what was required and yet at the same time I was given guidance on any matter that it was felt needed further attention. It has taken me three years to complete the first of my degrees (Doc. R. St.) and a further five years to complete the second (P. D.) During the time of study, even though I lived a hemisphere away from Trinity at all time I was kept in close contact by Trinity and it staff. Its programme of distance and on line study helped me consistently and enabled speedy solution to any problems that I was encountering."
The Courses Were Both Informative and Rigorous Graham HarrisCRK. Dip.Th. (Lond), Dip.Th. (Melb), B.A., M. Litt.St.(Qld), M.A. Ph.D. (Col. Pac), M.Phil. (Syd), Doc. R. St, Ph.D.(Trinity)
"I believe the school and the president are doing fine work.  I believe he has a vision for moving Trinity to new levels.  The school has always delivered quality theological education at very low prices.  In fact, some might say that it should be raised.  But I'm on-board for whatever the school leadership thinks is right.  If the president continues to allow his  steps to be ordered by God, I'm convinced it all work out for the good  of those who love the Lord. He should probably just continue  to keep doing the fine job he's doing."
Quality Theological EducationJohn Ward
“"My training with Trinity has changed  my outlook in life and enhanced my spirituality in my relationship to God and brothers and sisters in Christ. I realize it has not been easy  to fully comprehend the Word and it is our task to share the richness of the living Word and apply them to everyday life under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  My training with Trinity has given me the confidence in sharing the Word and the assurance of being obedient and true to the teachings of the Holy Scripture. I continue to uphold (my Alma Mater) Trinity and all who serve in this remarkable Institute in my prayers as you seek to train successive generations of students in biblical theology. "
Changed my Outlook in Life George Chew
"Throughout my 57 years of life, the Lord has opened many doors for me for which I am most thankful and grateful. For the last several years I had pondered working on my doctoral degree, not out of any career necessity, but to enhance my educational and research skills. Trinity has provided for me a program of study which I feel will exceed my original educational objectives. I have found everyone on Trinity's staff to be very helpful, courteous, and possessing an attitude of genuine caring. This is indeed rare in today's world. "
Enhanced My Research and Educational Skills Vince KernCPA (Ph.D. student in Ministry Leadership)
"As a result of studying under the Trinity program, my knowledge and revelations about God and His Word increased tremendously. I believe that this program equipped me to be more effective in my ability to minister in the field of Christian Education. I look forward to implementing many of the truths, methods and ideas which I have learned into my own ministry setting where I serve."

"God gave me the wonderful opportunity to study for the ministry through Trinity College of the Bible and Trinity Theological Seminary from which I received five earned degrees. From the very beginning, the Word of God was exalted and my confidence in the Word of God grew stronger. President Dr. Harold Hunter is a dear friend and brother in the Lord. My heart is thrilled to know him personally and that he is leading Trinity to even higher ground!"
Wonderful Opportunity Danny BurnleyD. Min. West Gantt Baptist Church Greenville, South Carolina
"In 1991, I received my Doctor of ministry from Trinity. It opened up a new area of ministry for me. My dissertation was on church and state and after my degree I continued to pursue the topic. As a result of the work I began at the school, I have been invited to speak at several engagements and have written for several national and local newspapers, magazines and web sites. Thanks Trinity."

"Highly personal and highly spiritual describe my experience in my studies through Trinity Theological Seminary. I found their leadership devoted to God's leadership in expanding the Kingdom. The encouragement and practical application of years of experience on the "front lines" make Trinity a great building block in fulfilling one’s call. I recommend your consideration!"
Highly Spiritual Brent LayD. Min. Associate Pastor Englewood Baptist Church Jackson, Tennessee
"I started at Trinity Bible College in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in Apologetics. I was a teacher in women’s ministry at my local church, and I felt I needed a better knowledge base from which to guide the women in study. The 4-week course schedule offered by Trinity, along with the two weeks additional time, allowed me to move at a pace that worked well with my career, my family, and my ministry. Upon completing my bachelor’s degree, I was invited to consider going on to complete a master’s degree. The tuition discount offered by Trinity helped make that possible. I graduated from Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary in 2023 with a Master’s Degree in Bible and Theology. Obtaining this degree has opened up for me greater teaching opportunities and an invitation to join church leadership in women’s ministries. To God be the glory."
