This article is about the institution in North Dakota. It is not to be confused with Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, the distance-learning institution based in Indiana.

History

The school was first founded in Devils Lake in 1948, but after several moves, settled in Ellendale in 1972 where it assumed ownership of the former campus of the North Dakota State Normal and Industrial School for $1 and an agreement to upgrade the campus and facilities. The school primarily offers instruction in Biblical studies, with programs in business, intercultural studies, ministry, teacher education, and music.

In 2014, Trinity introduced its first graduate degree program, a Master of Arts in Missional Leadership. Its graduate school has since expanded to offer two other MAs: Rural Ministries and Global Theology.[1] In March 2019, Trinity was approved to offer a research PhD in Practical Theology.

Trinity Bible College and Graduate School is accredited by Association for Biblical Higher Education.
