Trinity Evangelical Divinity School is the premier institution preparing the next generation of ministers and academic scholars. The Trinity faculty is among the most widely published in evangelical academia and has deeply influenced the leaders shaping the present and future of evangelical Christianity across the globe. TEDS is a broadly evangelical school that prides itself on theological diversity and encourages respectful engagement in difficult conversations and topics while remaining committed to the inerrancy of Scripture. Since our founding, we have taught creative and critical thinking while upholding gospel fidelity in an effort to fulfill the age-old adage, “in the essentials unity, in the non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity.”

As we seek to embody the kingdom of God on earth as a faithful community, the Holy Spirit moves us to embrace our denominational and ethnic diversity.

The TEDS student body represents 40 denominations and 38 countries. With more than one-third of students from multicultural or international backgrounds, we have a dedicated department to support our international students and foster cross-cultural understanding through integration into the broader community.

Through our Mosaic Ministries and other student groups, TEDS seeks to embody a Christian unity that encourages cultural intersection, embraces shared insight, and equips Christian leaders for world impact through the biblical mission of reconciliation with God and others. Our goal is that through our studies and actions we create a legacy for building bridges in love in the communities where we live and serve.

“The world desperately needs the gospel, and a training ground that is boldly evangelical—for teachers, for pastors, for theologians, and for counselors. A place where faithfulness to the gospel of the cross is at the very center of our training, practices, and study. My goal is to ensure that this continues to be the mission of TEDS”

Dr. David W. Pao
Dean of TEDS

Student Testimonials

I believe Trinity prepared me to better define the parameters of orthodoxy and to engage in healthier dialogue with those who believe differently than myself, this has meant that as I do ministry in Chicago, I have been able to stand in truth while working across denominational lines. I also believe that my Trinity education has made me a better student of God’s word and a better pastor of the souls entrusted to my care.

AP:Master of Divinity

Thank you for being obedient to the call to support institutions like Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. I had a former pastor of mine who used to say, ‘One person’s obedience is connected to a thousand destinies.’ And I really believe that. People can’t overestimate the impact that they’re having by donating to TEDS. They don’t know how they are building the Kingdom up, building up believers. Thank you, and be encouraged that what may seem like a small seed can be a huge investment!

Masters in Educational Ministries

Giving matters in that it impacts lives, and it is one of those things that continues to pay it forward. When you give, you are helping to create or maintain a safe space where those in ministry can not only be further equipped to do ministry and Kingdom work but also find God-given confidence in their calling. You’re creating space for Christian thought leaders and those with the gift and love of learning to come and be sharpened in a way that will help others grow.

TEDS is an evangelical school where people come from all parts of the world and learn together. I like living in this community and hearing the experiences of people from different parts of the world as well as learning how they are doing missions. TEDS also has a long history of offering this PhD course in missions, which is the heart of my ministry.

Trinity would not be able to serve our students without the support of alumni, parents, friends, and churches. Your gifts advance our mission to cultivate academic excellence, Christian faithfulness, and lifelong learning in our students lives.
