The Success of Trinity Together 2025
-Njoki Mukuria ’25
Each year, the Trinity Christian College community comes together through a special day of giving meant to support the work of the College. The importance of Trinity Together lies in the communal spirit it builds alongside the support it seeks to achieve as students, staff, alumni, and more members of the Trinity’s large family unite toward one goal. The Executive Director of Advancement and team leader for Trinity Together, LyNae Schleyer, puts it best: “This is more than a campaign – it is a celebration of what we can achieve as one united community. When we come together, we uphold the values that make Trinity so special – excellence in academics, Christian formation and spiritual growth, and opportunities that inspire every student to reach their full potential.” Trinity Together is the embodiment of this intentional commitment to the College’s mission.
The 9th annual Trinity Together event was held on April 9th, 2025, and was different from past years in a few exciting ways. This year, all gifts of $25 or more were matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000. In addition to this, donors were also able to choose from three different gifting areas: the annual OPUS celebration that recognizes student excellence, new broadcasting equipment for Trinity Athletics for higher quality streaming, and our Area of Greatest Need, The Trinity Fund, as an investment in Trinity scholarships, academic programs, and services. To Schleyer, however, the most memorable moment from this year’s initiative was the thought of “hundreds of people who are… thinking about and supporting Trinity all at the same time” because “many times, when a gift is posted, donors include kind words of encouragement and prayer.”
This year’s Trinity Together ended successfully, thanks to the efforts of 339 donors. Through the 36 hours of engagement, a total of $141,704 was raised in support of OPUS, Athletics, and Trinity students as a whole. Schleyer’s words ring true in this amazing result: “It takes the entire community, and every gift—no matter the size—is so important. Together, WE are Trinity Together.”
If you didn’t get a chance to give during the event, there is still time to have your gift impact the students at Trinity Christian College by giving here.
