SENIOR & GRADUATE SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT, AND MORE!
TRINITY HOSTS HISTORIC GRADUATION CEREMONY
Trinity recently celebrated a historic commencement – conferring 43 undergraduate and 41 graduate degrees – including the first nine PhD’s in Theology in North Dakota. Faculty and graduates from around the world celebrated this day alongside the friends and families of undergraduate students. Doug Clay, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, provided the keynote address, challenging graduates to “find your broom” and serve. Throughout the ceremony, every address, song, and prayer gave honor and praise to God. The conferral of degrees and the turning of tassels celebrated pastors, educators, and business leaders that will continue to be a reflection of God’s love to all the world.
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Lauren Muench,
Business Administration (AA)
“I believe that Trinity has equipped me for God’s calling on my life. Before Trinity, I struggled to see the relevance of business in God’s kingdom. Through classes and conversations with professors, this has changed. As a future business leader, I am very grateful for that.”
Aubree Bohrer,
Youth Ministry (BA)
When I first came to Trinity, I had little understanding or sympathy for the world outside my small circle of life in Montana. But over time, that changed. I’ve learned about different cultures, religions, and perspectives that challenged my own. Trinity has helped me grow in both compassion and empathy, shaping me into someone who is more aware, understanding, and prepared for ministry than when I first arrived.
Rebecca (Beki) Barbee,
Rural Ministry and Missional Leadership (MA)
“The journey from registration to graduation created in me a deep and lasting love for experiential learning. Trinity offered coursework directed by knowledgeable faculty that helped equip me to fulfill the call of God on my life by prayerfully engaging in ministry projects, exposing me to intelligent resources, and connecting me to leaders around the world.”
John Hailes,
Philosophy in Practical Theology (PhD)
Trinity’s PhD program not only sharpened my academic and research skills but it also equipped me with greater confidence in my ministry role. I grew intellectually, spiritually, and personally, and I graduated better prepared to serve the Church and champion the discipleship of the next generation.
