Tyren Brown’s Journey to Trinity Christian College
Tyren Brown, a senior Founder’s Scholar, journeyed from Upper Marlboro, MD, to the Chicagoland area, and is a proud member of the Troll Nation at Trinity Christian College. He is pursuing a degree in Biology with a Pre-medicine concentration and a minor in Neuroscience in Behavior.
Growing up in a family deeply rooted in faith, Tyren felt a strong drive to find a college that shared his Christian values. While facing rejection in high school due to his beliefs—he longed for an environment that would embrace his faith rather than challenge it. This search led him to Trinity Christian College, an institution that promised not only academics but also a supportive community aligned with his principles.
Traditions in Faith
Meanwhile, Tyren’s family, back home in Maryland, practiced a unique tradition every morning. No matter how early the hour or the distance separating them, they would pause to pray together before he departed for school. This regular ritual fostered a deep sense of connection and faith, laying the foundation for Tyren’s belief that any challenge could be overcome through persistent communication with God. “Did you pray about it?” became a loving reminder from his parents, encouraging him to seek God’s guidance in all his endeavors.
During a high school visit to Trinity Christian College over a Christmas break, Tyren arrived amidst the cold Chicago air, unsure if he would find the authentic experience he sought. To his delight, staff members were eager to welcome him as part of the community warmly. The genuine hospitality of the faculty and staff at Trinity made him feel right at home. On the way back to the airport, Tyren felt a strong confirmation that Trinity Christian College was, indeed, the right place for him, telling his father, “This is where the Lord is calling me to be.”
Purpose for the Future
Throughout his four years at Trinity, Tyren has thrived academically and personally, attributing his successes to his unwavering faith and his family’s unyielding support. They often echoed, “Won’t He do it?”—a testament to their belief in God’s providence.
As he looks to the future, Tyren is eager to pursue a medical career, advocating for health equity in the Chicagoland area. He is actively pursuing his goal of becoming a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. With his unshakable faith and commitment to service, he is poised to significantly impact the world around him.
