The foundation of Trinity's educational philosophy is that all true education should be God-centered. This philosophy is based upon the Bible (God's unique, inspired, infallible and preserved revelation of Himself to man), the Church (as described by the New Testament), and the Triune God. The very essence of Trinity's educational philosophy is that all true education be God-centered.

==History== Trinity Baptist College was founded in 1974 by Trinity Baptist Church under the leadership of Bob Gray. It was originally located on the grounds previously occupied by the church on McDuff Avenue near downtown Jacksonville. The college was located on this property for 24 years.
In 1992, in order to cover up for Bob Gray, the church voted Thomas Messer to be the senior pastor of the church and later the president of the college. In 1995, the church, in accordance with Pastor Messer, called Charles Shoemaker to be the Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the college. Since this time, Trinity Baptist College has expanded and moved to Hammond Boulevard on the Westside of Jacksonville, where it shares its campus with both Trinity Baptist Church and Trinity Christian Academy.
