Welcome to Trinity! Take a look around.
Welcome to the Trinity Theological College website.
Trinity exists to “prepare people for effective Christian service.” By “effective” we mean a ministry that has the Lord Jesus Christ and his salvation at its heart, the Bible as its basis, and serving people as its aim. Our churches and world need Christian leaders who are sure on these things as they hold out the word of life.
But developing this kind of ministry takes time; time in God’s Word, time in prayer, time with teachers and fellow students, and time in your own church. This is why we encourage full-time enrolment in our accredited degree courses, where practicable. Weekly chapel services, pastoral care groups, community lunches and activities, mission weeks, etc., all play their part in shaping minds and hearts for gospel ministry.
If you are considering gospel ministry in Australia or overseas, I encourage you to come along to the next Information Night as advertised in our Events calendar. You’ll meet some of our current students, academic and support staff, have a look around our campus, and be able to ask questions about the College.
If degree courses are not for you, our non-accredited Certificates are a great way to get the flavour of Trinity. Around 400 people enrol in Trinity@Night and Trinity in Town each year. I encourage you to have a look at the units coming up. Or consider the new Trinity Equip.
We are so thankful to God that Trinity is supported by many who pray and give generously for our work. If you would like to find out how you can partner in ministry, have a look at how to “Partner with Us” and see our “Events” calendar for upcoming events.
I wish you every blessing in Christ,
Rev Dr Donald West, Principal
Inspired by Trinity at Night
“After experiencing the faithful proclamation of Christ in the teaching in the Trinity at Night courses and the guidance of mentors, I chose to study for my MDiv at Trinity. The teaching and guidance of the staff and lecturers has been extremely valuable and not only am I learning about Christ, but I am encouraged to grow and be built up in Christ Jesus in all areas of my life. At the completion of my studies, I would like to work in pastoral ministry.”
– Shawn Tan

There is a desperate need for strong churches committed to making disciples of all nations. Raising up Christian workers is a team effort where many people play different roles – prayer, acting as an ‘ambassador’ for the College, and financial support. Please consider prayerfully how you can partner with Trinity to continue our ministry of training future Christian workers.
