Theological studies in TTC has been an invaluable journey with God. By His grace, I have broken bread with my TTC lecturers and classmates, who inspired me with their care and dedication.
My time at TTC has been one of the most wonderful times in my life. The community is one of the best blessings I can ask for. Surrounded by very pastoral lecturers, an open and gracious community and a loving group of friends. I do wonder: Is this but a tiny foretaste of heaven?
