  • Are actively involved in serving at a local church
  • Have a strong desire to study God’s Word and serve in gospel ministry

Trinity Theological College has a purpose-built facility, “Trinity House,” located on Newcastle Street between Loftus and Oxford streets in Leederville, just 5km from the Perth CBD. Its convenient location makes the College easily accessible via public transport, car or bicycle. There is pre-paid secure parking onsite for students (subject to availability) and fee-paying car parks near the College.

Here at Trinity we welcome, teach and support students from a range of denominations, cultures and countries who pray that all people might “know the only true God and Jesus Christ.”

Your education will take place in a community of prayer, fellowship, and service with staff and peers. Face-to-face classes, easy access to your lecturers, the library, and study spaces will help you reach your academic goals.

Studying at Trinity is about more than just obtaining an academic qualification. We seek to foster a loving, worshipful community where we are all spurred on in faith. Free time in the student lounge, weekly community lunches, chapel services, Pastoral Care Groups, and doing mission together give you the opportunity to build lifelong relationships and great support networks for ministry.

There are also many College events for the Trinity community to attend which are great opportunities to get to know each other and prepare for life during and after College, including the Evening Together, Trinity Women Enrichment Day, the Marriage Enrichment course, Spring Picnic and End of Year Dinner.

Trinity Women seeks to support all women in the Trinity community to connect with each other and be equipped for ministry life during their time at College. It is run by a small committee, usually made up of wives of faculty, female students and wives of students. They are supported by our Women’s Ministry Advisor, Alexia Horton. 

Trinity Women typically hosts events such as afternoon teas and breakfasts. At these events we meet together and hear from women with experience and wisdom in issues involving life in ministry. 

Yes, we have two Info Nights a year, one in each semester. There is also Open Week in October, where you can join us for lectures, chapel and community lunch. These are opportunities for you to learn more about our courses, see the College facilities (including our library and student areas), meet our lecturers and students, and ask any questions you may have. If you are unable to attend these, you can contact us to arrange a tour or visit a lecture at any time.
