About

Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University forms leaders for Christ’s Church at work in the world.  The Trinity community is committed to living our Christian vocation and baptismal call by letting the light of Christ shine in and through us in all we do.   Gifts from alumni, friends, family, faculty, staff, and church members help us live into this vocation and this mission.  Today we ask you, our donors and friends, to “Share your light,” by giving a gift to the Trinity Fund. 

The Trinity Fund is foundational for all we do both inside and outside of the classroom.  The Trinity Fund is the foundation on which we build our legacy.  This fund supports annual operations and every day needs including infrastructure.   

Thanks to the faithful generosity of donors like you we have the ability to offer full tuition scholarships to almost all our students! Your gifts have impacted many students.  Today you have the opportunity to impact all students, including future students, through the Trinity Fund.  

 Will you make a gift that will have an immediate impact on the Trinity Lutheran Seminary community? 

16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your God in heaven.

Matthew 5:16
