Trinity International University – Illinois

6601 W College Dr, Palos Heights, IL

With nearly 100 faculty and 3,000 students, Trinity International University is committed to the same vision with which it was founded in 1897 and determined to follow in the footsteps of the great universities that were founded on the cornerstone belief that all wisdom lies in Jesus Christ. Trinity's task, if we are to be salt in the world of our day, is to build institutions where one can think as a Christian and learn to live as a Christian in a culture where both have become equally hard. 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.

At the heart of Trinity's mission lies its commitment to engage the culture for Jesus Christ. Trinity's purpose is to enable its graduates—in all schools and in every discipline—to think and live like Christians in the twenty-first century. We believe that God calls his people into many kinds of service; Trinity's calling is to prepare them to serve for his glory.
