I, Steve Stewart, am a student at Trinity, enrolled in the theology program, which I’m grandfathered into after the name change from advanced theological studies. I’m about at a junior or senior level—definitely a “super senior” at this point.
As a veteran, my experience here has been extremely positive. Trinity has been great for my mental health, and it’s provided a supportive environment where I’ve found brothers and sisters to trust and build relationships with. I came in with some preconceived notions about church-related institutions, but Trinity has been a blessing. It’s a place where I can genuinely thrive.
As for my future, I hope to teach. My main motivation for studying theology was to answer some deep questions about my faith, but also to have meaningful discussions with others. I love talking about big, important questions, and teaching would be a great way to share those conversations.
For prospective students, particularly veterans, I’d say don’t discount the idea of studying the Bible if you feel called to it. Trinity is a safe space for that—there’s no strange theology or liberal doctrine being pushed. It’s solid biblical teaching, and if you have a desire to dig into God’s word, Trinity is a great place to do it.
For veterans, it can be hard to find a place where your background and faith intersect, but at Trinity, those initial fears are quickly erased. The faculty and staff are welcoming, and you’re given a fresh start, focusing purely on studying the Bible and growing in faith.
To help veterans like Steve, you can partner with Trinity College of Florida to Forge a Future here.
