Trinity Christian College Purchases New Building

PALOS HEIGHTS, IL -- Trinity Christian College will expand its footprint for the first time in over 25 years by purchasing a building from another Christian ministry. The college announced plans to buy Back to God Ministries International, which move its headquarters to the offices of the Christian Reformed Church in North America in Grand Rapids, Mich. The sale of the Palos Heights building was formalized in December 2017.

“The purchase of the building, which sits at the northern edge of Trinity’s campus, represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to expand our footprint and create an ideal entrance on College Drive,” Trinity’s President Kurt D. Dykstra said in a news release. “We are blessed to work with the CRCNA to finalize this agreement, and we thank everyone who offered their time, wisdom, and resources to make this purchase possible.”

Kurt Selles, director of Back to God Ministries, was eager to see its facilities continue to be used for ministry. According to Selles, relocating to CRCNA headquarters will help BTGMI achieve its stated goal of integrating its outreach with the efforts of its sister ministries. The final transition to Trinity is scheduled to take place in the spring of 2018.

“We celebrate this agreement as we transfer the property from one ministry to another,” Selles said. “In addition to continuing to use media to reach out in North America and around the world, we need to focus more intentionally on providing ministry content and resources for Christian Reformed congregations.”
