You Might be a Trinity Seminary Student If…

Leave a Comment /

Twenty-five years ago Jeff Foxworthy broke through as a stand-up comedian with a bit called, “You Might Be a Redneck If…”  For example, you might be a redneck if… you own a home that is mobile and 5 cars that aren’t.  (Rim shot.)

Since then many other people have done their own “You might be a…” spin-offs.

You Might be a Trinity Seminary Student If…

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people visit Trinity’s website and wonder “Would I be a good fit for Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary?”

We thought this would be fun way to answer that question.

You might be a Trinity seminary (or Trinity bible college student) if…

  • You became a pastor and then realized no one ever taught you how to lead a church.
  • You’re a pastor and some of the people in your church are not perfect. Some actually want to talk with you about their problems. Understanding biblical counseling would be helpful.
  • Driving to class through blizzards or rush hour traffic isn’t your preferred form of relaxation. You would rather take seminary classes in your own home or office.
  • Other “online” seminary programs you’ve checked out still require some classes to be taken on campus. You think online seminary should be 100% online.
  • You’re 30-60 years old, have a job and a family and can’t go back to school full time
  • You live in Africa and the 100+ mile walk to the nearest seminary would be tough on the feet.
  • You’re a missionary in the field and don’t have a private jet to fly to the states regularly for seminary classes.
  • You’re crazy enough to follow God’s call on your life to become a pastor.
  • You love God and want to know Him better.

Do any of these sound like you?

If so, Trinity may be the online seminary for you.  Click to learn more about Trinity seminary or fill out the Request More Information form on the right side of this page.

Student and Graduate Testimonials
"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."

"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."

"I am grateful to God for the good people at Trinity! I was able to complete my degree with much help from the staff and faculty ! Online education has worked well for me simply because of the hustle and bustle of being a Pastor. This experience has allowed me to continue in full time ministry while finishing this degree. As a graduate I would like to encourage each alumni to give back to our school monthly to help them continue to facilitate an awesome quality distance education."

"My school’s ethos is centered on the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This includes the curriculum, teaching, learning and everything the school does. This has been consistent over the past decade and is still going strong. Every single course is aimed at dealing with the realities that occur in the 21st century church and the communities. The courses are tailor-made to prepare ministry leadership to both teach the word of Jesus Christ effectively and also to tackle 21st century church issues."

"As a recent graduate of Trinity Theological Seminary (August, 2014), with a Master of Arts degree in Biblical Counseling, I feel a responsibility and obligation to heartily recommend Trinity to any aspiring Christian of any age interested in formal education, training and continued preparation to battle for the truths of God’s Word."

"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."

"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 feel more equipped for ministry than ever before Preston Cave2012 Graduate BA/MA Christian Education
"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."

"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."

"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."

"The Trinity program enabled me to complete my theological seminary training while in ministry. It also opened the door for a new ministry in the educational field. I found the Trinity program to be academically sound, ministry driven and relevant in application."

“I want to take a moment to thank the faculty and staff of Trinity College and Seminary as well for their assistance in training several key staff people at my church, myself included. I was personally able to gain valuable knowledge and spiritual wisdom that has enabled me to become a more effective leader. Regardless of your denominational background, Trinity can help train you for a lifetime of ministry. I wholeheartedly recommend Trinity College and Seminary for everyone.”

"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."
