Continuing education at Trinity is a joint project of the seminary and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, with financial support coming from both institutions and from participants’ registration fees. All programs strive to include ecumenical and interfaith presenters and welcome participants from all traditions.

Distance Education opportunities for congregations and individuals are available through the Covenant Cluster seminaries and will be included in the Calendar of Events.
Lay programs also are available in Cleveland, Ohio, through the Trinity Academy for Congregational Leadership.



Continuing Education is also an ongoing component of the Promise for Life Holocaust Memorial Sculpture. Periodic public educational events are offered throughout the year in collaberation with the Jewish community and the broader ecumenical and interfaith community.

Continuing Education also cooperates with the Center for Educational Ministry in the Parish to provide opportunities for theological education for leadership and laity.
