History

Trinity Theological College was formed at the end of 1998 with the merging of the Perth Centre for Applied Christian Studies and Westminster Theological College. This followed two years of prayer, planning, and preparations by college boards and principals.
Trinity was located at Bull Creek Westminster Presbyterian church from 1998-2003. In May 2004 the main campus moved to a purpose-designed premises in Leederville: "Trinity House".
The faithful prayer and financial support of a dedicated group of supporters realised the dream of providing a building that would enable the training ministry to extend its influence throughout Western Australia and the world. The ministry of the College continues to rely on prayer and financial support to help it continue to grow and develop into the future.
Trustees, faculty, staff and students come from a wide cross-section of churches and backgrounds.
Trinity is the recognised training college for the Diocese of North West Australia of the Anglican Church of Australia, the Westminster Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church of Western Australia. Many churches, missionary societies, schools and other ministries send people to be trained at Trinity and employ their graduates.
