Trinity Christian College announced it will close after the 2025–26 academic year, the board and acting president said, citing sustained operating deficits, falling enrollment and failed rescue options. Acting President Jeanine Mozie and trustees said advisers reviewed program changes and partnership options but found no sustainable path forward. The campus has arranged teach-out agreements with three partner institutions to receive transferring students. Between FY2020 and FY2024 Trinity’s assets and cash reserves fell and the college ran operating deficits each year; enrollment has dropped roughly 22% over five years, the board said. The announcement follows bond‑covenant warnings earlier this year and an urgent donor solicitation that failed to bridge the gap. Leaders are coordinating student transfers, staff notifications and the wind‑down of institutional obligations. The closure highlights persistent financial stress at small private liberal‑arts colleges: demographic shifts, flat philanthropic flows and pandemic-era revenue shocks that leave limited options short of institutional mergers or closures. The teach‑out agreements and advance notice are meant to protect students’ credits and title‑IV eligibility during the transition.
