My Journey to Trinity: A Path to Spiritual Growth Hi my name is Vince, and my journey to Trinity started at Southeastern University (SEU), where I studied for a year. At first, I thought I was on the right path, but I quickly realized that something was missing—spiritual growth. I was there for pastoral ministry, yet I wasn’t growing in the ways I needed. Instead, I felt like I was being pulled away from my faith rather than strengthened in…

Hi my name is Triston, when I started looking at Bible colleges, I knew I wanted a school that was truly biblically grounded. I applied to multiple schools, but Trinity College stood out immediately. Their response was not only quick but also aligned with everything I was looking for. Every conversation I had about Trinity confirmed that this was a place where faith was at the center, and that’s exactly what I wanted in a college. Now that I’ve been…

Hi my name is Cana, and my path to Trinity was anything but traditional. I spent a few years on the mission field, and during that time, I started looking for a college—somewhere far from where I had been sent, which was not Florida. My parents, however, were concerned about the type of credits I would earn if I studied outside the U.S. When we returned stateside, we visited a small college—what turned out to be Trinity. Initially, I had…

From Student to Registrar How did you go from being a student to becoming the registrar? It was completely a God thing. After graduating, I was invited back to speak at a women’s winter formal for alumni to encourage female students. After my speech, a professor mentioned a potential job opening and said I’d be a great fit. At the time, I had no experience in administration and wasn’t sure if it was the right path. My main goal was…

I, Steve Stewart, am a student at Trinity, enrolled in the theology program, which I’m grandfathered into after the name change from advanced theological studies. I’m about at a junior or senior level—definitely a “super senior” at this point. As a veteran, my experience here has been extremely positive. Trinity has been great for my mental health, and it’s provided a supportive environment where I’ve found brothers and sisters to trust and build relationships with. I came in with some…

I, Mark Prioleau, am a transfer student from Clarks Summit University in Pennsylvania, which recently closed due to financial struggles. My time here at Trinity has been positive so far—everyone’s very kind, the classes are good, and the faculty are supportive. I’m majoring in Pastoral Ministry, and my goal is to become a pastor. Right now, I’m interning at a local church while I continue my studies. Lord willing, I’ll be in ministry wherever God leads me. As for my…

I, Courtney Hawkins, have had a mix of ups and downs at Trinity, but overall, it was a positive experience. I have so many good memories and valuable lessons, and I’ve grown in countless ways. My experience has definitely impacted the career path I want to pursue. Initially, I thought I wanted to go into counseling, maybe with a private practice. But over time, I realized that I want to help others using what I’ve learned in counseling without necessarily…

Hello, my name is Caleb, and I’m an international student from China. I was born in Spain and raised there, so my cultural background is a mix of European warmth and Chinese roots. When I first arrived in America and came to Trinity, I knew things would be different. The American way of life, especially in terms of social interactions, is a bit more reserved than what I’m used to in Spain. However, I’ve made an effort to adapt by…

Hello, I’m Dr. Zachary Hedges, Assistant Professor of Bible and Theology and Director of the Honors Program. In my role, I aim to help students broaden their intellectual horizons by exposing them to texts and ideas that challenge their thinking. For example, this semester, we tackled works ranging from The Iliad and The Odyssey to Shakespeare. It’s not always easy, but students are encouraged to develop their reading comprehension, writing skills, and ability to engage with universal ideas that transcend…

I help students check in and out books, shelve books, and catalog donations. Beyond that, I provide academic support as an academic mentor, assisting students with their studies. This includes helping with time management, prioritization, and ensuring students fully understand assignment instructions. I also guide students through the writing…
