Trinity Christian College

The campus ministry department of Trinity Christian College seeks to open up space in which all students, faculty, and staff are free to flourish in their ongoing spiritual development.

The Chaplain's Office is located in the Ozinga Chapel. Everyone is welcome to drop by unannounced. If you'd like to set up an appointment with Pastor Bill, you can either phone x4880 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . You may also contact the Chapel Assistant, Joanna Wigboldy (x4874; This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). Whether you're celebrating or grieving or something in between, we would count it a privilege to join with you on your journey here at Trinity.

The ministry activities listed below are designed and implemented by a Student Ministry Leadership Team, under the supervision of the College Chaplain, Bill Van Groningen, and with the assistance of Joanna Wigboldy. This leadership team meets weekly with the Chaplain to review ministry activities, grow in spiritual formation, learn leadership skills, and encourage one another in prayer and by mutual accountability.

We invite you to join us in any of the regularly scheduled activities and programs described here. And we would love to hear from you about further ministry ideas and opportunities that would help us better serve the diverse community that is Trinity Christian College.

Chapel is a twice weekly gathering on Trinity's campus that draws together students, faculty and staff for a time of community worship. Chapels are diverse in their style and topic, allowing for a broad range of worshipful expression, including song, scripture, speaking, praying, praise, dance and more. As part of the larger learning endeavor at Trinity, chapel will from time to time be designed and led entirely by students, and students will regularly offer leadership in chapel services.

Chapel at Trinity Christian College is voluntary. Students, staff, and faculty are invited to take leave from their normal day to day activities and seek the blessings given through communal worship. Chapel services are held in the Grand Lobby of the Ozinga Chapel from 10:00-10:40 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays. Refreshments are graciously provided by Creative Dining Services.

Student leaders: Hannah VanBeek, Christopher Steinke, Brandon Taylor

OutCry

Students gather each week to offer a concert of praise to their Lord through music. OutCry has a student team of 40 dedicated musicians and vocalists who serve the community by leading a weekly praise service of several hundred persons. OutCry is held each Thursday at 10 p.m. in the Ozinga Chapel.

Student leaders: Andy VanSoelen, Adam Perez, Karlie Monsma

Prayer Ministries

Prayer is a significant part of the life of the Trinity community. There is a prayer room available each day from 8-9 a.m. and 2-3 p.m. in the Molenhouse student center for personal or group prayer. On Mondays at 9:30 p.m. in the Fireside Room, students come together to pray for the campus, the community, and the world.

Student Leaders: Holly Webster, Brenda Romo

Sunday Night Worship

Students gather for a Sunday Night Vesper service, an intimate time of worship based in song, prayer, and testimony.  A typical SNW includes worship through song, a short testimony from a student or staff member, and a time of extended prayer for one another.  SNW meets Sundays at 10 p.m. in the Alumni Hall Classroom.

Student Leader: Brian Hofman
