We were founded in 1969 for the express purpose of providing high quality non-residency theological education for those students who were precluded from studying at a traditional Bible college or seminary because they were unwilling or unable to leave family and ministry. Trinity currently enrolls nearly 9,000 students in theological degree programs at the bachelor's, master's and doctoral level. In spite of the no-residency requirement, we are able to deliver a high quality academic product to our students using the latest in computer mediated instruction, concentrated seminars held at strategic locations in the U.S.A. and abroad, as well as traditional distance delivery methods. Our faculty are well-qualified to offer a sound theological education.
Trinity is transdenominational and welcomes students from all Christian traditions.
Our faculty and administration mirror the denominational and theological diversity of our student body. But since this is a pioneering form of accreditation, it might be helpful to explain what it means and how it benefits our institution and our students. The origin of the University of Liverpoo l can be traced to a Town Hall meeting in 1878 in which it was resolved to establish a University College in Liverpool as an offshoot of the University of Manchester. With the support of the business and professional community of Liverpool, sufficient funds were raised to endow professorships and thereby in 1881 to obtain a Royal Charter founding University College Liverpool. In 1903, a further Royal Charter and an Act of Parliament were obtained, establishing the separate and independent University of Liverpool with the right to confer its own degrees.
