Philosophy of Education
Greetings from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. We are delighted that you are interested in discovering what Trinity is about.
“Trinity Evangelical Divinity School exists to serve the church of the Living God by equipping servants for the work of the gospel of Christ worldwide.”
- TEDS Mission Statement
Trinity is not just an educational institution. It is a community—a community of people committed to one overriding vision: a vision of loving God wholly, not only with our minds but with all our might, all our souls, and all our spirits. It is also a community of people committed to one passion: that of serving God through his church.
The church today exists in a complex and rapidly changing world. As such, we at Trinity are compelled to take that world seriously as we prepare students for ministry. This requires a disciplined commitment to the understanding of the Scriptures and their implications for the world today, a vibrant spiritual life, and an unashamed commitment to the Triune God.
If God leads you to join us at Trinity, we will be better for it as you enrich our community of faith. In turn, we trust that we will be able to contribute to your continued faithfulness to God.
