Trinity Bible College and Graduate School Athletics

Trinity offers five varsity sports with 38 total athletes, meaning about 28% of the 138-student body participates in athletics. The Lions compete in the NAIA, which sits between Division I powerhouses and Division III's purely academic approach, allowing athletic scholarships while maintaining smaller, more intimate competition. However, Trinity allocates $0 to athletic scholarships, focusing its financial aid elsewhere. The school's rural North Dakota setting and Assemblies of God mission prioritize ministry preparation over sports culture. With such a small student body, athletics serve more as campus community builders than major draws. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio extends to coaching, creating close mentorship opportunities. Sports complement rather than define campus life at this Christian institution focused on biblical education and pastoral training.
