A Short History of
    Triune Biblical University


Triune Biblical University was co-founded by Dr. Leroy Mikels Th.D.
and his wife Audrey Mikels D.B.S.,Litt.D.
It was the summer of 1981, in Poulsbo Washington, when Dr. Leroy Mikels and his wife Audrey,
had their vision. It was a vision to start a Bible College for adult Christians.

It was in a small and modest room of the Craft-Store that Mrs. Mikels owned and managed, that Dr.
Mikels, while working on his Doctor of Theology Degree Thesis, had his vision of a Christian
Counseling Center. As the vision developed, the Center gave way to Triune Bible Institute and
Seminary and eight years later was named, Triune Biblical University.

Dr. Leroy Mikels, the President of Triune Biblical University, earned his B.A. Degree from the
University of Charleston, his B.S. Degree from Artesia Christian College, his M.A. Degree from
Northwest Baptist Seminary and has his M.R.Ed., D.R.Ed., and his Th.D. Degrees with
International Bible Institute and Seminary.

Dr. Audrey Mikels has her Litt.D. with Triune and is Chancellor and co-founder of Triune Biblical
University. She also supervises the office procedures and is the designer of the University’s,
graphic media.

The Mikels have four children, twin girls, Cindy and Candy, and two boys, Leroy Jr. and Thomas
who is Facilities & Equipment Director for the University.
