Why Choose Trinity, a Christian Online School?

100% Online Bible School and Seminary

If you’re looking for a 100% online Bible School or Christian online school, Trinity is a great option. Regardless of your schedule you can complete your courses, and your entire degree, totally through distance learning. Study in the privacy of your home or office, or carry the studies with you as you travel.

Personal service from Academic Advisory staff, Program Directors, and adjunct faculty

While we specialize in online learning for adults, and we want to make the process as efficient and convenient as we can, we do not want everything to be automated. If you have questions or concerns during your time as a student in our online Bible school or online seminary, if you need help in understanding a finance statement or class registration, or even if you need counsel or advice, you will find the Trinity staff ready to serve you. We do not utilize an offsite call center. Our staff members are available in Evansville, Monday through Friday, from 8:00AM to 5:00PM CDT.

Continuous Open Enrollment: Students can begin whenever they are ready

New students do not have to wait until the Fall or Spring semester begins. You can enroll and begin your studies on our Christian online school almost immediately.

Biblical Integrity; Multi-Denominational appeal

Trinity is dedicated to equipping men and women with a Christian worldview of leadership and service in life, work, and ministry through distance education that encourages professional and academic excellence. Trinity is a conservative evangelical Christian institution that affirms:

  • The Inspiration and Authority of the Scriptures;
  • The Existence of One God in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
  • The Creation of the Human Race in the Image of God;
  • The Fall and Resultant Human Depravity;
  • The Deity of Christ, His Incarnation, Atoning Death, and Resurrection;
  • Salvation by the Grace of God Through Faith by the Power of the Holy Spirit;
  • One Holy Christian Church, the Body of Christ;
  • The Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the Consummation of All Things;
  • The Gift of Everlasting Life in Heaven, With Christ, for All Who Have Trusted in Him for Salvation.

Affordable Tuition Cost

High tuition rates are one of the major concerns for adults seeking to continue their education. Most “Title IV” eligible universities receive 60-80% of their income from governmentally based loans taken out by the student. They have no motivation to offer what we might consider affordable tuition. Trinity is a not-for-profit institution and we exist to serve the learner. You will find that you can likely manage tuition without going into a long-term debt situation.

Maximize transfer Credit

We want you to receive the credit you deserve. It is possible transfer in up to 90 credits into our (120 Credit Hour) Bachelor of Arts programs and up to 9 credits into our (36-39 Credit Hour) Masters programs. All transfer is subject to the official Trinity transfer policy and you should discuss this with an Enrollment Advisor.

Tuition Assistance

In addition to affordable tuition rates, Trinity’s Board of Regents allow for the Admissions Department to offer significant tuition discounts for our Christian online school through the year. These discounts apply to tuition only and can lower the tuition by anywhere from 10-30%. Additional discounts may be available when pre-paying for 6 or more classes in full.

Monthly Payment Arrangements

Trinity is obviously committed to making this education affordable. Part of that commitment means that we do not expect a student to come up with their full tuition investment before they can begin their studies. We offer numerous payment methods whereby a student can begin with a reasonable low deposit and pay the rest on a monthly payment arrangement. Our Enrollment Advisors are dedicated to working with you personally to develop an arrangement to meet your needs.

As a Christian online school and 100% online bible school, earning your bachelor, master or doctor degree has never been more convenient or affordable than it is now at Trinity. For more information, complete the “Request more information” form on the right side of this page.

"In 2015 I graduated with a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University. I felt prepared for the graduate work from my undergraduate degree at Trinity, and more so the admissions committee favored my past education. Trinity's state of accreditation did not impact my ability to attend a top ranked graduate level university."

"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.)

"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. "

"I originally began studies at Trinity with the purpose of being trained to encourage others in ministry. But I enjoyed the studies so much I continued on. What I appreciate most is how Trinity taught me to be a better student of Scripture. The education I received prepared me for the ministry I am now in. I only wish I would have started sooner. Because of their commitment to excellence in each field of study, I have no hesitation recommending Trinity to prospective students and especially to those who cannot afford the time or cost to attend seminary. I will always be thankful God led me to Trinity."

"I fully advocate Trinity as a university for those who prefer to study by distance and online, whether in the Unite States or abroad. Trinity's courses are demanding, but extremely rewarding in terms of what they teach you and the breadth and depth of understanding that you reach. What you learn will prepare you for ministry and service within the Body of Christ. Trinity is a well-run seminary that is efficient in helping students finish their degree programmes and is kindly flexible with those who may run into difficulties that prevent them from studying as much as they would like. This is truly a Christian college within the great tradition of Christian universities in the United States."

"The opportunities at Trinity are world class. Excellent teachers, wise course disciplines, and virtual fellowship with students. An enjoyable and enriching experience which becomes humbling when those you serve testify to recognizing growth in you as a person and as a teacher of the Word. I chose Trinity because of their Christian worldview and their financial options that gave me a truly wonderful education. I notice that when I read God's Word or am preparing a biblical message, my thinking has been deepened and my mind sharpened. I realize now how much more there is to learn, and enjoy taking further studies through Trinity."

"My time at Trinity has been both informative and rewarding. I feel more equipped for ministry than ever before. Trinity formats their class schedule to enhance, not hinder, your ministry. I have never had to neglect my church responsibilities in order to finish my degree. It seems strange for someone to NEGLECT their calling in order to be educated FOR their calling. Trinity understands this and has done a great job of helping pastors reach their educational goals without breaking the bank or slowing down the ministry to the local church."

"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."
