On her first visit to campus, Mallory Boyce found that the welcoming attitudes of students and an atmosphere of worship set Trinity apart from other colleges. After attending a public high school, seeing a group of students worship together was a new experience for her.

“When I attended chapel and Outcry, the students there had an authentic desire to worship – it was encouraging to see a true community coming together to glorify God,” she wrote.

Throughout high school, Boyce participated in band and student government, was a member of the National Honor Society, and participated as a youth leader in several ministry environments. By studying social work at Trinity, Boyce hopes to continue outreach to youth and to share the love of God with those encountering difficult situations. 

“Trinity truly desires to involve every part of someone’s life in their education and to do it all with the purpose to glorify Christ.”

Finding a small, Christian college with the right values was important to Emma Darcy’s college search. She looks forward to her Trinity experience for both the spiritual and educational growth it promises to provide.

“I believe that attending Trinity will be a great way to grow in my faith, because it is a place filled with good, Christian role models that will encourage and guide me in my walk with Christ,” she wrote.

Throughout high school, Darcy was involved in cross country, cheerleading, theatre, peer and mission tutoring, and was a member of the National Honor Society. She also volunteered in several children’s programs through her church. At Trinity, she hopes to study nursing, with a minor in Spanish. 

“God has taught me so much through my walk with him. He has placed people and circumstances in my life that have shown me the depth of his mercy, the power of prayer, and the importance of trusting him. He has taught me to draw my strength from him, shown me the beauty of worship, and developed me into someone who can be a light for him in the world.”
