Whether preparing to be pastors, missionaries, attorneys, teachers, counselors, scientists, corporate leaders, homemakers or public servants, whatever one's calling under God, we need excellence in education, grounded in the lordship of Jesus Christ. That is the goal and task of Trinity International University.

Trinity educates men and women to engage in God's redemptive work in the world by cultivating academic excellence, Christian faithfulness, and lifelong learning.
