Trinity Bible College and Graduate School (TBCGS) is a private bible college and graduate school in Ellendale, North Dakota. It is affiliated with the Assemblies of God USA.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 39% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start actually finish, and median earnings of $31,700 a decade out make the $20,396 annual net price worth scrutinizing carefully. That said, debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $16,043, and if you're specifically pursuing Assemblies of God ministry training in a tight-knit, faith-centered environment, this small community of 138 undergrads may be exactly the focused setting you're looking for. Go in with clear vocational goals — this is not a school where general outcomes are strong enough to justify enrolling without a specific purpose.
