Mission
The mission of Trinity Fellowship International is to find the rejected, disconnected and discarded parts of the Lord’s Church and help heal, sort and reassemble according to the teachings of our Lord and Apostles of His New Testament Church (I Cor.1:17-31; Eph.4:1-16; John.17).
The mission also includes the development of House Church ministries. House Church ministries are not satellite Bible study groups of a larger monolithic theater mega church program. House Churches are autonomous physically but spiritually share in the beautiful unity of Christ (Eph. 4:11-16 and John 17).
The original impact of the Early Church should be carefully studied and emulated. If we cannot surpass the Early Church in effectiveness and power, then we should try to copy The Early Church. We should not seek to deviate from the original productive pattern given under the anointing and guidance of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles.
To enable any disciple of Jesus Christ to receive a balanced education in the theology of God’s Truth in Love, Holiness, and Power in one year. And in the second year to encourage the development of Christian Maturity for Ministry to train others also.
II. Location:
The seminary is basically internet centered at TrueVine, Kealia, Hawaii. we are in the process of confirming the three years of classes and curriculum. The seminary is a subsidiary of Trinity Fellowship International and soon will also have a book store, “Acts 29 Book Store”, in order to make textbooks available for our students at the lowest possible cost. e-mail access to registration is: Ken@Trinity-Aloha.org.
III. Study Plan:
Students will receive a guided study for the basic theology of each course.
Students will then have an interactive discussion on what was learned each week.
Students will submit a two page, double spaced paper covering each chapter.
Pass or fail will be posted each week as per the instructor’s evaluation. An evaluation for previous ministry experience may also be accepted for equivalent subjects.
Other class and study options may be included at the discretion of the Dean.
IV. Faculty:
Instruction: N. Ken Smith, Th.D. DD, Also see a biographical profile located at www.trinity-aloha.org under Trinity Fellowship International for further details.
At this point in time, TrueVine facilities for live-in students is very limited. So though it is possible to have a life in experience and must be applied for.
VI. Files:
Each student disciple will have a file kept on the main office computer. Each subject may also have a file or files in the main office for a hard copy.
VII. Tuition:
Seminary tuition is on a donation basis. We feel that a foundational Christian Education is required by the Great Commission and as such should not be restricted by finances. There will be a minimum charge for the books required for the courses and the student’s personal library.
VIII. Discipline:
Biblical standards will be invoked for any and all disciplines.
IX. Requirements:
i. High School diploma may be required for admission. Attendance and progress reports will be maintained. Each year will include three, four-month semesters with a 1-week break between each semester.
