God Calls You. The World Needs You. Trinity Prepares You.

A regional and ecumenical, inclusive seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University equips and forms faithful, wise and courageous leaders. Our students explore faith, grow in knowledge, and participate in practical ministry training.

Our mission is to form leaders for Christ’s church at work in the world, and we invite you to join us.

Almost all Trinity students receive full-tuition scholarships. Students who bring a full-tuition scholarship from an outside source are eligible for a stipend toward their housing expenses.
