My journey at TTC has been one of growth and blessings. I have learnt more about God not only through the academic training in Biblical and theological studies, but also through the pastoral care and example of our lecturers, as well as many helpful and loving brothers and sisters.
Entering TTC from an independent Charismatic church felt strange at first, especially surrounded by “mainline” churches-it felt like I was on the sidelines. Yet, I soon found an incredible community of individuals, both teachers and students, from different backgrounds, all humble and ready to support each other.
