College life at Trinity Theological College is all about a community marked by the process of formation. Besides the formation which takes place in the classroom, a large part of our goal is achieved through the communal life of the college. TTC communal life involves:<\/span><\/p>\n

Our students are organised into \u201cFamily Groups\u201d, each of which is led by a faculty member. These groups meet once a week, and provide students with opportunities for mentoring, accountability and fellowship.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, there are the \u201cClass Groups\u201d. These consist of students belonging to the same year of study gathering weekly for activities which they plan themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each week, the college community gathers for three services in the TTC Chapel: One led by a student who also delivers a short sermon (Monday); a longer student-led worship service with a faculty\/guest preacher (Wednesday) and a more informal service led by a Family Group (Friday). In addition, there are evening prayer sessions and numerous informal prayer meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holy Communion services are conducted at the beginning and the end of the semester and on the last Wednesday of each month during term. Each Holy Communion service follows the liturgical pattern of a particular tradition (Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Free Church).<\/span><\/p>\n

The college seeks to expose students to the richness of Christian worship because this points to the richness and diversity of God\u2019s creation and the Church. It is hoped that the weekly chapel services will benefit not only the students but also the churches and organisations they serve in. Chapel experiences are meant to be shared so that the worship life of the sending churches might be renewed, enlivened and enriched…<\/span><\/p>\n

Life at TTC, in addition to study, worship, and fellowship also includes the practise of service. All students are expected to contribute one hour of service each week to the College in a suitable area. College Spring Cleaning is held once a semester. Family Groups are assigned various tasks during this exercise. All members of the community are expected to participate in this activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trinity Theological College seeks to promote worshipful sacred music through the TTC Chorale. Singers selected for the Chorale (through audition) are given training in vocal technique and a wide range of choral anthems. Opportunities to perform include the special functions of the College, such as the graduation and thanksgiving services, chapel services and occasionally at worship services of local churches. Students participating in the Chorale would be deemed as having fulfilled one hour of community service each week.<\/span><\/p>\n
