“I chose Trinity because of the amazing community I could sense during my short time as a visitor. It is obvious that God is doing beautiful things on this campus and that this community is feeding all of the students.”
Meet KateMaster of Divinity Student
“I chose Trinity Lutheran Seminary because the sense of community is truly unlike any other school I have ever visited. The warm feeling of welcome is compelling and it feels like home. I also really love the aspect of the 2+2… 2 years of classes, 2 years of internship. I think learning through actually doing is such an effective way to learn and I’m excited to have the extra year of experience through the internship.”

Meet NikkeyaMaster of Divinity Student
“I have a hard time putting my finger on a “first moment” only because the call has always been a part of my life, in one way or another. I can’t say I always felt called to ordained ministry, but I’ve always known that my faith is one of the cornerstones of my identity, so I carry it with me and act on it in a number of public arenas.”
