“DTC in Singapore is different from almost all other theological colleges and educational institutes in Asia.”

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT DTC

DTC is a small residential evangelical theological school with no more than twenty students at any one time. DTC is also a cross-cultural community with students and staff coming from different countries. Lessons are learned inside and outside the lecture room. Living and learning together is an enriching experience, and is particularly beneficial for students who see themselves in cross-cultural ministry in the future.
