Trinity Western Christian Ministries personal and ministry statements
Trinity Western's MA in Christian Ministries lists two written statements among its graduate admission materials. Applicants submit a 500–800-word personal statement and a separate 300–500-word ministry goal statement, alongside a bachelor's degree and pastoral and character references. The published page gives lengths but no exact prompts for the two pieces.
Writing format
Two separate pieces: 500–800-word personal statement and 300–500-word ministry goal statement
What to prepare
- 1Use the personal statement to explain the experiences and preparation that led to graduate ministry study, without inventing a question the university has not published.
- 2Give the ministry goal statement a distinct purpose: describe the area of ministry you hope to pursue and why further training matters to it.
- 3Keep the personal history and future ministry plan consistent with the two references, which serve different pastoral and character roles.
How to approach the writing
- Draft within each published word range, then check the live application for any additional prompt or document instructions.
- Identify the semester you want to enter; the program says admissions are rolling and gives domestic applicants a deadline one month before each start date.
Before you submit
The program does not name a calendar year or international application deadline on this page. Confirm your intake, exact prompts, submission route, and language requirements directly with TWU before sending either statement.
