}}Trinity Lutheran College was an accredited, Christian liberal arts college in Everett, Washington, that offered bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, and 1-year certificates. The Campus Center was located in downtown Everett between the Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound. The college ceased instruction in 2016.[1]

History

Lutheran Bible Institute of Seattle (LBI) was founded in 1944. LBI began as a small school dedicated to providing biblical studies education. Over the next 30 years the school grew to over 300 students, and offered many degrees and certificates.

Having outgrown the Seattle location, LBI moved in 1980 to Issaquah, Washington, to the campus formerly known as Providence Heights College. Shortly thereafter LBI sold a significant portion of their unused property on the south side of the school to a developer. LBI played a key role in the development of this property, transforming it into a thriving retirement community known now as Providence Point in honor of the previous school.

LBI became accredited and in the 1990s changed its name to Trinity Lutheran College (TLC). Trinity added more degrees, including degrees in Business Management, Psychology, Communications, and Early Childhood Education. Trinity offered admission to low-income students who were the first in their family to graduate from college. Trinity also added sports programs. In an effort to make the school more financially stable Trinity moved again in 2008, to a smaller campus located in Everett, Washington.

By 2016 Trinity's declining student enrollment numbers were unsustainable and the school closed. The Trinity community conducted a closing ceremony on May 7, 2016, with speeches by students and alumni.

The legacy of LBI and TLC continues today through the [https://tef-lbi.org/ Trinity Education Foundation]. The [https://tef-lbi.org/ Foundation] is 501C3 non-profit that offers a variety of scholarships in the spirit and legacy of LBI/TLC.

Athletics

Campus

The Trinity Lutheran College Campus Center opened fall semester of 2008 in Everett, Washington and was located at 2802 Wetmore Ave., at the corner of California St. and Wetmore Ave.

The Campus Center had five floors devoted to classrooms, administrative offices, faculty offices, the library, a student store, and a commons area. The center was served by a parking garage connected by a skywalk. Student housing was nearby, as was the YMCA, which was available for student use at no cost.

Closure

On January 12, 2016, Rev. Dr. Kevin Bates (Chair, Trinity Lutheran College Board of Directors) released an open letter, expressing a plan to end operation of the college. Academic instruction ceased on May 7, 2016.[2]

The college's supporting organization still exists today, [https://tef-lbi.org/ Trinity Education Foundation].
