The annual Open House was held on Wednesday, 22 Jan 20. This year, the half-day event attracted 70 participants, 38 of whom were interested in our English programmes, and 32 inclined towards our Chinese programmes.

The day started with the Acting Principal, Rev Dr Edwin Tay, welcoming participants. Following that, senior faculty held briefings in English and Mandarin on “Why Theological Education at TTC?” and the admission process. Then the President and Vice-President of the Student Council, Daniel Lee and Teo Meow Ling, shared about their time at TTC.

After a short break, participants sat in one of two lectures – the History of Global Christianity II class in English or the Worship and Liturgy class in Mandarin. Chapel service and community lunch followed, before students took participants on a campus tour.

Participants were impressed with the library, with one commenting that it had more books than the National Library! (He probably meant books on theology.) Another participant commented that TTC gave her a ‘homely feeling’. Participants were generally pleased with the overall experience, with one participant saying that the students’ sharing on life in TTC had helped him appreciate TTC’s context.
