Discipleship Training

ACADEMICS
AT DTC, there is a serious concern for biblical, theological and missiological study, which is carried out both in the classroom and in private study. While excellence is not our main concern, it is an area in which we seek to maintain a level competitive with and complementary to other Christian colleges.
​
All our graduate programmes are accredited by the Asia Theological Association. In addition, students are involved in weekly practical ministry in a church or a Christian organization or with particular individuals. Every year staff and students go to another country for mission trips either as a team or individually.

STUDY PROGRAMMES NOT ACCREDITED BY THE ASIA THEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
Sabbatical Studies Programme
This is a course designed for those wishing to review, reflect and refresh through course attendance, writing or guided personal reflection or self-study.
Previously, DTC's Sabbatical Studies Programme was open to those with seminary training or who have served in the field, for example, as missionaries. But now, people who have recently retired from the marketplace or those contemplating a career change or making a life transition, can come to DTC and benefit from this programme.
