FAQ'SWho are we? Trinity College of Ministry is the product of a long running desire in the hearts of the pastors at Trinity Chapel. For years, in many different forms and in various locations, systematic teaching has been implemented for the purpose of equipping members for the work of the ministry. Now, with the completion of a new facility on a forty-seven acre campus, the vision has taken shape. Faculty and staff were assembled and classes began in May of 2002. Trinity
College of Ministry is first and foremost a place to help students
discover the gifts and callings on their lives and be equipped for
ministry. We want to fully prepare workers to accomplish God’s purpose
in their own generation and impart a vision for the harvest of the
nations for the glory of Jesus Christ. What do we do? At TCOM we help people discover their gifts and callings. We give them an opportunity to become grounded in theology, biblical studies and spiritual formation and to apply what they learn in local churches here and abroad. We believe that
theological learning is best done when it is connected to the local
church, in the context of relationships. We also are committed to
quality education that is accessible and affordable to all people. That
is why we offer classes in multiple formats. What will I learn?

As
educators and equippers, our guiding principle is that we are meant to
communicate a vision to you. A vision of what could happen if you
decided to allow God to accomplish everything He desires in and through
your life. When we equip and mentor we are lighting a fire. As a Bible
college our commitment is to impart a vision for your life and light a
fire that will never be extinguished! What are our core values? Quality education grounded in academic excellence and Scriptural integrity Courses take place of a variety of formats: Semester-long

workers in the United States and many parts of the world. These

being equipped for ministry. These relationships include: Master Builders Fellowship Master

We feel, however, that those considering studying and training among us must know the fundamental truths in which we believe and seek to live by. I know I will learn a lot, but will anyone recognize the credits I earn? Yes. Trinity College of Ministry is an accredited member of the Accrediting Commission International (ACI). ACI is the world's largest non-governmental school accrediting association. ACI accredits over 290 schools in 37 of the United States and in 8 other countries. Although
