Family Resources

As a parent or guardian you have started the process of laying foundations in your student’s life, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is the goal of all Trinity Lutheran College staff and faculty to continue that process. The Trinity community is dedicated to the college's mission statement of developing Christ-centered leaders. We'll take time to get to know who your student as an individual and work with them one on one to make sure they are prepared to reach their career goals.  Thank you for sending your student to Trinity Lutheran College.

What have other families said:

"I feel strongly that my daughter’s time at Trinity was a time of spiritual growth and count that time as a gift and blessing. I think she not only grew spiritually, but that she also grew into the person she was meant to be. We were uncertain about sending our daughter that far away initially, but came to realize that Trinity was an amazing spiritual community and that the staff and students really supported each other and became a family. Our daughter received financial support from the college and scholarships from people who donated monies to aid students at Trinity in obtaining their education. I recall the times I walked into Trinity during visits and always being welcomed so warmly by both staff and students. Trinity does a great job of challenging students both intellectually and spiritually.”  - Parent of 2004 Alumni

"We believe that TLC was a wonderful place for our daughter to get a faith based quality education in a friendly, supportive environment."  - Parent of 2001 Alumni

What sets our community apart?

Trinity Lutheran College has a close knit community where all students’ names, majors, talents, and interests are know known by many.  Student peers build strong friendships which sometimes feel like family.  Staff and Faculty will know your student by name and will take time to make sure your student’s needs are being meet.  All students are encouraged to become involved with community through programmed events, participating in weekly worship, and becoming a student leader.

Student Services Staff:
