Trinity International University (TIU) Announces Changes

TIU TO CLOSE BANNOCKBURN CAMPUS BY 2026

On April 8, 2025, Trinity International University (TIU) announced the following:

“Trinity Western University (TWU) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) have entered into a formal agreement to take steps toward assuming ownership of TEDS. This will ensure the continued legacy of TEDS globally recognized evangelical training ground for leaders within the church. As this moves forward, TEDS will become TWU’s seminary, all the while remaining steadfast in its mission.”

“In Fall 2026, TEDS at TWU will welcome its first class on the campus in Langley, B.C. TEDS will remain at its current Bannockburn location during the 2025–2026 academic year, as we will be conducting due diligence from April to December 2025, with the transfer of ownership officially concluding at the end of that period, December 31, 2025.”

“Staying on the Bannockburn campus, which was designed to house a small university, would undermine our commitment to good stewardship and represent a loss of opportunity moving forward. The unnecessary financial burden of maintaining this campus can be directed toward our programs and our people so that we can have a stronger impact on the church in North America and around the world.”

“On-campus housing leases will shift to month-to-month in the summer of 2025 (which allows students to transition off campus at any time without breaking lease) and end after the 2026 academic year.
