Admissions

Trinity is a graduate-level seminary that defines itself as a school for ministry.  We seek to integrate scholarship with practical training.  Our academic program is based on certain foundational principles, including a Christ-centered worldview, outreach, and theological education as a lifelong process.

Coming to seminary is a major commitment.  Although training for ministry in a Christian community is a joyful experience, it can also be a difficult and stressful time.  Therefore, before they apply, applicants should have talked with their rector or pastor and other experienced Christian leaders, taken counsel from spiritual elders, friends, and most importantly, sought God’s leading in prayer.

Applicants should carefully consider their financial budget for their time at seminary.  They should explore all possible sources of funding, particularly from their local congregation, diocese or governing church body.  Additional information is available under Tuition and Fees and  Financial Aid. 

To assist you in your discernment process, you may want to attend Trinity’s annual Visit Trinity Conference, usually held the first or second weekend of March.  The 2009 conference is scheduled to be held the weekend of March 5-7, 2009, and will feature workshops on the call to ministry, panel discussions on life at Trinity, classroom experience with our faculty, community worship, and just plain fun.  We would welcome you to visit campus at any time during the year.  Contact the Admissions Office to set up an appointment.
