Our Purpose
Triune Biblical University (TBU) is an evangelical, interdenominational community dedicated
to the preparation of men and women for the manifold ministries of Jesus Christ and His
Church. Under the authority of Scripture it seeks to fulfill its commitment to ministry through
Undergraduate, Graduate and Post Graduate Education, Professional Development and
Spiritual growth. In all its activities, including instruction, nurture, worship, service,
research and publication, TRIUNE BIBLICAL UNIVERSITY strives for excellence in the service
of Jesus Christ, under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, to the glory of the Father.
Academic Excellence
The Board of Directors and the Faculty of TBU are committed to achieving and maintaining
the highest standards in teaching, and in research and writing.
Vocational Diversity
In order to meet the demand of the Church today, the Board of Directors and Faculty of TBU
takes seriously the apostolic description of the church’s nature - one body, many members.
For this reason all the programs of TBU are designed to provide for a wide range of
Christian service.
Exempt Status
The Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board has reviewed and recognized that
Triune Biblical University qualifies for religious exempt status from the Washington Degree
Authority Act under WAC 250-61-060(4) for the following degrees: Associate, Bachelors,
Masters and Doctors of Biblical Studies, Christian Counseling, Christian Education, Ministry
and Theology.
The School is a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation that seeks to serve the Lord Jesus Christ
by providing religious higher education to Christian adults, enabling them to minister in
diverse capacities religious … inclusive of the proclamation of the Gospel.
Accreditation
Triune Biblical University is not accredited by any organization approved by the State of
Washington.
For information concerning association with other Schools, please contact our home office.
Is Accreditation Necessary
If you are studying for something other than ministry, to become a business administrator,
engineer, lawyer, etc., make sure that the school you are going to study with belongs to a
regional (or national) accrediting association that is recognized by the U.S. Department of
Education. In secular education, this type of accreditation is essential.
If your purpose in seeking an education is for the Gospel Ministry or a related field with
Christian ministry, secular accreditation is not required. All Christian Churches accept
quality Christian education regardless of which accrediting group (if any) a school is with.
For education of those in Christian service, secular accreditation does nothing for Christian
education other than making the tuition beyond the reach of most ministers.
