About Trinity Theological Seminary
Equipping Servants. Developing Leaders. Advancing the Kingdom of God.
Trinity Theological Seminary (TTS) is an international, fully online theological institution dedicated to providing biblically faithful, academically rigorous, and ministry-centered theological education to believers around the world. Our purpose is to prepare men and women who are called by God to serve His Church through sound biblical teaching, spiritual formation, and practical ministry training.
For more than two decades, Trinity Theological Seminary has remained committed to one conviction: God's calling should never be limited by geography, financial hardship, or life circumstances.
Our Story
The vision for Trinity Theological Seminary was born in 2002, when Dr. Shibu Thomasreceived a clear calling from the Lord while serving as a missionary in Khategaon, Madhya Pradesh, India.
During his missionary work, Dr. Thomas encountered many sincere believers who possessed a genuine passion to serve Christ but had no opportunity to receive formal theological education. Many could not relocate to a residential Bible college because of family responsibilities or full-time employment. Others lived in remote regions where quality theological education was unavailable. For many, the financial burden of attending a traditional seminary placed theological training beyond their reach.
Burdened by these realities, Dr. Thomas stepped out in faith and established Trinity Theological Seminary with a simple yet life-changing vision: to make quality biblical and theological education accessible to every believer whom God has called into ministry.
What began as a small ministry serving a handful of students has, by the grace of God, grown into an international theological institution that now serves students across the globe.
Today, Trinity Theological Seminary is supported by an international community of like-minded pastors, theologians, educators, counselors, and ministry leaders who share the same vision of equipping faithful servants for the work of God's Kingdom. Together, they continue to invest in raising a new generation of biblically grounded and Spirit-filled Christian leaders.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide accessible, affordable, biblically faithful, and academically excellent theological education that develops spiritual maturity, theological competence, servant leadership, and practical ministry skills for believers throughout the world.
We seek not only to educate minds but also to shape Christlike character, strengthen local churches, and prepare leaders who will faithfully proclaim the Gospel and advance the Kingdom of God.
Our Vision
To be a globally respected theological institution that equips Christ-centered leaders through biblical truth, academic excellence, spiritual formation, and Spirit-empowered ministry for the transformation of the Church and the world.
Accessible Education for Every Calling
Accessibility has always been the heartbeat of Trinity Theological Seminary.
For many years, TTS provided free theological education to hundreds of young men and women who otherwise would never have had the opportunity to study God's Word in a formal academic setting. As the ministry expanded, the seminary introduced Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degree programs while maintaining tuition at an affordable level to serve students from diverse economic backgrounds.
Our commitment remains unchanged. We have never desired that a genuine call to ministry be hindered by financial hardship. Whenever possible, we have worked alongside students to help them pursue theological education because we believe that those whom God calls should have the opportunity to be equipped for His service.
Today, Trinity Theological Seminary offers:
• Certificate Programs
• Diploma Programs
• Bachelor's Degree Programs
• Master's Degree Programs
• Doctoral Degree Programs
• Specialized Biblical and Ministry Courses
Through our flexible online learning platform, students are able to pursue theological education while continuing to serve in ministry, maintain their careers, and care for their families.
