Trinity Lutheran Seminary

“Prepared for ministry?  Well, there is always room for more learning. There are always surprises. However, ask me if Trinity has prepared me for a life of faithful service?  For ministry rooted in relationship and God’s love?  Then, yes!  After study at Trinity, I am prepared to passionately share my faith and love in a world constantly in need of resurrection.  I am prepared to encounter the unexpected, the surprises, and the challenges.”
