Vice- President Dr. Tom C. Peters, Vice-President.
Dr. Tom and Mary Ann Peters responded to God's call to Lake Worth, Florida, in March 1973. In the years since then Trinity Church International has grown from a small congregation of eight people to a strong, thriving church of more than 4,000. The "Vision of the House" was birthed out of Dr. Tom and Mary Ann's belief that we exist for ministering to the Lord, to the Body of Christ and to the world; for without a vision the people perish.
Dr. Peters has a great anointing to teach, preach and exhort. His messages are "life-changing" in scope and inspirational, challenging all to a closer walk with God and a broader vision to help bring the lost to Christ. Dr. Peters is actively involved in conducting pastors and leaders seminars and training programs that build and strengthen the local church. The Peters have traveled in over forty different nations, including ministry in the Caribbean, South Pacific, Africa, Europe and India.
Tom C. Peters holds degrees in Business Management from Jones College Fl, as well as Biblical Theology from International Seminary, FL, USA, followed by a Doctorate of Ministry, from NCITS.

FACULTY - PROFESSORS, ADJUNCT-PROFESSORS
& TUTORS
NCIU functions as a global, distance-learning institution with a central administration center and staff. At NCI University & Theological Seminary the global network of professors and adjunct-tutors do the actual tutorial and mentoring requirements.
The most desirable teaching objective at NCIU is the one-on-one process, which we call “Faculty Mentoring.”
This “faculty mentoring” feature enables NCIU academic staff to be located anywhere in the world so long as they can adequately meet the needs of their individual students through electronic communications.
Almost all NCIU Faculty Mentors have doctoral or appropriate graduate degrees and those few who do not, have adequately distinguished themselves in their fields.
In addition our NCIU Adjunct-Professors and Tutors are not only passionate, seasoned practitioners but are also skilled in recognizing individual learning styles and needs.
