Trinity Western University
Trinity Western University (TWU) is a Christian liberal arts college and research university with campuses in Langley and Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. TWU is a research institution offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in the humanities and sciences as well as in several professional schools. The school is a member of Universities Canada and the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.
Founded in 1962, Trinity Western enrols over 6,000 students annually. As Canada's largest Christian university, TWU offers 48 undergraduate degree programs and 20 graduate degree programs. TWU has an average first-year class size of 25 students. There are over 30,000 TWU alumni around the world.
Trinity Western is a member of the Royal Society of Canada. Its varsity teams, known as the Trinity Western Spartans, are members of U Sports. The Spartans have won 14 U SPORTS National Championships and 34 Canada West Championships.
Dr. Todd F. Martin is TWU’s sixth president, inaugurated on April 24, 2025.
In April 2025, it was announced that Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois would join with Trinity Western University and cease operations at its Chicago-area campus.
Trinity Western University traces its history back to 1957, when a committee was established by the Evangelical Free Church of America to study and consider the feasibility of a liberal arts college on North America's Pacific Coast. The committee decided on a location between Vancouver and Seattle in rural British Columbia, in what is now the Township of Langley. Trinity Junior College began as a two-year college in 1962, and its name was changed to Trinity Western College 10 years later, following a significant period of growth in enrolment and program options. After 20 years as a transfer college, Trinity Western began awarding baccalaureate degrees in 1980. In 1985 the British Columbia Provincial Government, through the Trinity Western University Act, legislated the institution to its current position as a privately funded Christian university and it became known as Trinity Western University. It is the fourth-oldest university in the province of British Columbia after the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, and Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
Trinity Western's motto is Turris Fortis Deus Noster. The Latin motto is translated as "A Mighty Fortress is Our God". The inspiration for the motto came from a famous hymn of the same name written by Martin Luther.
The university's coat of arms was granted by the Royal College of Arms, and was presented to then-university president R. Neil Snider in 1986 by the Lieutenant Governor of B.C. on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. A torch symbol is also used prevalently at the university, as the coat of arms is reserved to authenticate the highest official University academic and legal documents.
