TRINITY EPISCOPAL SCHOOL FOR MINISTRY ANNOUNCES NAME CHANGE TO TRINITY ANGLICAN SEMINARY
Same Vision, Same Mission, New Name
PITTSBURGH – June 03, 2024 – Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry has announced today that it has changed its name to Trinity Anglican Seminary.
According to the Very Reverend Canon Dr. Bryan C. Hollon, Trinity’s Dean & President, “Our new name does not suggest a break from the past but was chosen after careful study to better reflect the scope and focus of our work in the 21st century. We continue to be a global center for Christian formation in the evangelical Anglican tradition, producing outstanding leaders who can plant, renew, and grow churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ.”
Trinity Anglican Seminary was founded in 1976 to help renew biblically faithful Anglicanism within The Episcopal Church. It has since played a leading role in the creation of the Anglican Church in North America and in the renewal and realignment of the Anglican Church on a global scale.
“When Anglicanism remains biblically faithful, evangelical, catholic, and reformed,” said Hollon, “it offers an excellent way to be a Christian. Thus, we are unapologetically Anglican and entirely committed to forming Christian leaders who can communicate the gospel in a broken world and plant, renew, and
grow churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ.”
While most of Trinity’s students are Anglican, Presbyterian and Lutheran students study alongside their Anglican colleagues in programs overseen by the North American Lutheran Church and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.
In line with Trinity’s priority to serve the leadership needs of churches and dioceses in the Anglican Church in North America, the seminary’s traditional ‘residential pathway’ is now complemented by a ‘church-based pathway.’ Students pursuing a master’s degree along the ‘church-based pathway’ do not
need to relocate to Ambridge but can complete their studies using online courses, week-long Intensive courses on campus, and accredited mentored courses. Their formation for ministry is guided by churches and clergy in their locations.
To support its renewed emphasis on training students to lead Anglican worship, Trinity recently acquired a 100-year-old Presbyterian church adjacent to campus and is refurbishing it as a 600-seat state-of-the-art worship space for liturgical training, daily prayer, and campus assemblies.
Trinity Anglican Seminary is located in Ambridge, PA, and has nearly 1,500 alumni around the world. It offers a diverse array of programs, including master's and doctoral degrees, as well as non-degree programs, all designed to equip leaders for ministry and mission. Through rigorous academic programs, vibrant worship, and practical ministry experience, students at Trinity Anglican Seminary will be
prepared to engage with the complexities of an evolving world while remaining anchored in the Christian faith.
