Customer ReviewsforTrinity College of the Bible & Theological Seminary

I completed a Master of Arts degree in bible and theology in June 2024. I found the flexibility of the program its greatest strength. A student has a total of three years but can complete the course work in far less time. I finished in 14 months. I believe the books chosen were appropriate for the subject matter. I believe the writing assignments were also appropriate for the purpose of understanding the subject. The website was very user friendly. The Hunter Theological Library was also excellent and a great resource. I miss it! The webinars were very good. To be completely honest, some professors were better than others. I loved the interaction with my fellow students as we engaged in fruitful discusses about the weekly webinars. In summary, I will recommend Trinity to anyone interested in learning more about God's Word. I would also recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing a career in pastoral care.

Thank you, Mr. W****** for sharing your positive experience in your Trinity journey! We are proud of you and your academic accomplishments!

I completed my Doctorate of Philosophy in Apologetics when I defended my Dissertation in September 2020. Trinity enables study at a distance and at a pace that works for you as a student leading a busy life. It is financially accessible, academically sound and the staff are willing to work with you. I like that you can connect and dialogue with fellow students online. During my studies I found that we both challenged and supported one another in a collegial way. I found the professors accessible and responsive to questions. All in all a great learning experience. Randy B****

Thank you, Dr. B**** for sharing your positive experience in your Trinity academic journey. We appreciate you and all of your hard work!

Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary has been a real blessing to me. I studied there many years ago for my master's degree in Biblical Counseling. It was such a great time of growth. I interacted with instructors and students who came from differing backgrounds and offered so much insight into what we were researching and discussing in our coursework. I returned to Trinity a few years ago and am currently finishing a doctorate. The programs have been updated to reflect current technology. I now can interact with students and instructors in a virtual setting. This is very convenient. Being able to watch or listen to prerecorded lectures on my own time has been immensely helpful. If I have questions, I can shoot out an email. With some patience and careful planning, you can certainly go to school and get that degree to serve in ministry. Like so many other busy adults, I would not be able to attend a traditional program. Trinity allows me to graft academic interests and my theological journey into a very full schedule.

Thank you so much, Adriana! Glad to hear about your very positive experience in your academic journey. We're honored to have you as part of our Trinity family!

I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to study at Trinity. My studies there have opened the door to ministry around the world. The administrative staff has been extremely helpful, and I am encouraged to see the school progressing, adding new teachers, and improving its offerings continually. One of the great blessings to me has been to read of the school's president, Dr. Braxton H*****, using his gifts to bless churches around the world through his seminars and to challenge unbelievers to consider the claims of Christ. His example shows me that the school is not just interested in passing on academic information. The school wants to change lives!

Thank you, Dr. W*******. Wonderful to hear of your positive experiences throughout your Trinity degree program!

Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary is nothing short of top tier online theological education. They are extremely flexible with their students and do whatever they can to work with you. Their communication is also fantastic, every time I've emailed them I've received a response in reasonable time, sometimes even after hours. They are always kind and professional. They also do their best to work with people financially so long as it's within their policies (understand them before signing up). Bottom line is this: if you are seeking knowledge and a place that is going to make you study while giving you an opportunity to push yourself? Trinity is the place for you. You truly get what you put in. However, if you are complacent and choose to sit around - that's fine. No one there is going to rush you to complete your program - which I find to be a good thing. Allows you to take it at your own pace. That aside, their educational method is great. They don't have annoying quizzes nor do they have you study for mundane tests. They have you read and write everything to be sure you know and understand the material properly. Not memorizing "fill in the blank" or "multiple choice". They want to create pastors and scholars - not drones. Frankly, I recommend Trinity to all my friends and family as they are the best at what they do and ESPECIALLY for the price. They have a STACKED staff of theological powerhouses as well. You don't get much better than them.

Thank you so much, Mr. H*** for the positive comments and kind words! Always good to hear from one of our students/alumni who has experienced an excellent academic journey through their Trinity degree program!

I sent my information to the school to learn more and was inquiring with Steve ***** who I have to say is incredibly rude and inconsiderate. He kept insisting I apply and then assured me that with a "modest deposit" I would be eligible for a grant that would allow me to pay $100 per month. I wrote back and told him I unfortunately could not apply as I can not afford the $65 application fee and cannot afford a "modest deposit of any kind nor the $100 per month as I am currently on SSDI and I care for my chronically ill daughter and elderly mother. He wrote back and nastly said that we could discuss things once I apply, completely disregarding what I just said about not being able to afford the application fee. I received another email tonight stating that maybe now is not the right time for me and I should contact him again when I can afford it.

Dear Ms. ********* We did receive your formal complaint regarding your interaction with Trinity's Director of Admissions, Dr. Steve *****.

First, let me say I am sorry to hear about the challenges you have been going through, especially taking care of your chronically ill daughter, as well as your elderly mother. This cannot be easy and I'm sure that your situation can take its toll on you and your whole family. Please know that I will personally be praying for you, your daughter and your mother.

We are sorry to hear you say that you are sad and disappointed in your correspondences with Dr. *****. In the 30+ years that Dr. ***** has been with Trinity, lack of compassion or empathy is not typically how people have described their relationship with him.

Dr. ***** would never intentionally be rude to you or anyone else, or try to make anyone feel ashamed. What you are doing for your daughter and your mother, your family - that is honorable, courageous and definitely to be admired and respected!

I am aware of the various emails back and forth and the one you mentioned about the $65.00 application fee, is simply the "NEXT STEP" email we send requesting more details and specifics so that Dr. ***** can determine which program will be the most beneficial for you, as well as which type of Grant may be available to help with the finances.

Another email mentions the cost as well as the payment plans, which typically do begin at $100.00 per month. Although our fees and tuition are much less expensive that most other Bible Colleges and Seminaries, we understand, especially in the economic times we are living in currently, that there are some prospective students that will need to wait until they can save the money to continue with their educational goals, and there are some prospective students that simply decide to move on with a different educational institution, or put their academic goals on hold. We talked to hundreds of prospective students weekly, and many, for a variety of reasons, are unable to apply for a Trinity program.

As mentioned above, I will be praying for you and your family, Ms. ******** - praying for the touch of our Master's hand.
