Building the Anglican Future

The Church needs more shepherds.

The Anglican Church in North America is growing, and its faithful clergy are retiring faster than new leaders can be trained. Growing congregations risk being left without the biblical guidance they need.

Through the Building the Anglican Future campaign, Trinity Anglican Seminary is raising $12 million to build a firm foundation for the years ahead. That foundation will equip Trinity to form more Christian leaders and adapt to the changing needs of the local church in an increasingly secular world.

Your gift today helps build a future in which Anglicanism in America is thriving, led by Christ-centered leaders prepared for mission.

Join us in filling tomorrow's pulpits.

Our goal

$12 million over three years

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore His sacred name

Trinity has maintained its focus on Christ and him crucified, as revealed in the Scriptures. We seek to form leaders for mission "till all the world adore his sacred name." Trinity plays a unique role in gathering emerging Anglican church leaders from across the world. By raising $12 million through our Building the Anglican Future campaign, we will build a firm foundation upon which Trinity can grow to form more Christian leaders and adapt to serve the ever-changing needs of the local church as we engage an increasingly secular world.

Scholarship Endowment Fund

In order to form the future leaders of the ACNA, Trinity must be able to support the financial needs of those students. Therefore, we seek to expand our current scholarship endowment to ensure we are able to attract the best students and send them into ministry without the burden of debt. Scholarship funds also support local church ministry by enabling students pursuing their calling through the church-based pathway.

Academic Excellence Fund

Trinity is committed to excellence in scholarship and teaching. The Academic Excellence Fund allows Trinity to attract and retain faculty of the highest caliber who will not only form exceptional future leaders but also reach the broader Anglican community through their research and writing.

Campus Revitalization Opportunity Fund

Trinity's student body is growing quickly, and we expect continued growth in both residential and church-based education. Therefore, we seek to make investments to update certain campus buildings and acquire or build additional on-campus housing. It is vital that, as we grow, we are able to provide safe and reliable housing for students and their families in Ambridge, PA. For this reason, we intend to build a strategic reserve which will allow us to take advantage of Ambridge real estate opportunities as well as update existing buildings.

Trophimus Center Fund

The Trophimus Center is now complete and stands as a beautiful invitation to embrace the Anglican liturgical tradition. Trophimus is the heart of liturgical education for our students. As it continues to be a place of gathering for students, Anglican leadership, conferences, and so much more, we seek to build up reserve funds so Trophimus can remain as an excellent liturgical resource for our students and church leadership.

Why this campaign

Formation at the center of the Church's future

In 1976, Bishop Alf Stanway came to Ambridge to form evangelical leaders for a church in crisis. Trinity went on to help give birth to the Anglican Church in North America and a global Anglican realignment that is still unfolding.

Building the Anglican Future is Trinity's campaign to form the leaders that church will need for the next fifty years. They will be formed in Scripture and the Book of Common Prayer to plant, renew, and grow churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ.
