2024 Graduates, Awards, and Recognitions

It is with great honor that we recognize and celebrate the Trinity Baptist College Class of 2024!

Many of these graduates started their college career four years ago, under the extremely unique circumstances of 2020.  While a smaller class than average, they have persevered and completed their degrees, overcoming obstacles with inspiring resilience. 

As we celebrate their transition from college student to graduate, we are confident that what they have learned in their classrooms, through their internships, and from their professors and mentors, has equipped them for success!
