Forming Leaders for Mission

How can we help you pursue your calling?

What is Trinity Anglican Seminary?

Transformative

Trinity doesn't see orthodox formation and scholarship as competing priorities that must be balanced. They are the same thing. Everything you do: the classroom work, daily chapel, and the evenings you spend with your peers, all combine to develop you into a minister ready to take on everything that ministry entails.

Discover Formation

Aligned

Trinity’s is the only seminary in the world with curriculum tailored to meet the ordination requirements of the Anglican Church in North America. Our graduates don’t check boxes to receive ordination; they fulfill ordination requirements based on the needs of the their diocese.

Discover Academics

Affordable

Don't let money stop you. Many of our accepted students receive large scholarships that are awarded after they have been accepted. At Trinity, you can make your decision based on calling instead of cost.

Discover Aid

Flexible

Some students move to Ambridge for the residential program, with its daily worship and close community. Others can't leave the parish where God has planted them, and for them, the Church-Based Pathway delivers the same curriculum and mentorship right where they already serve.

Discover Pathways

"I chose to study at Trinity because most of my mentors and pastors graduated from the school. I have already benefited so much from the biblical wisdom, pastoral care, and Anglican sensibility of these Trinity graduates. By studying at Trinity, I seek to be formed in wisdom, knowledge, and skill to serve the Church as an Anglican presbyter."

Trinity Anglican Seminary exists to form leaders for mission. We provide Anglican formation that is biblically orthodox, academically rigorous, and deeply relational—always in partnership with the bishops and churches we serve. Here, students don't choose between theological excellence and spiritual formation; they experience both simultaneously through a curriculum built around ACNA ordination requirements, daily chapel, and mentorship from faculty committed to the church's flourishing. We are forming the next generation of Anglican leaders who will faithfully proclaim the gospel and shepherd God's people.
