TCA College has moved!
Students started the 3rd trimester in our new college premises at the brand spanking new complex of Trinity@Paya Lebar at 249 Paya Lebar Road. The move intensifies the exciting journey of faith for the college as it launches many new programmes this year. The new college premises comprises 16 classrooms of various sizes, 2 lecture theatres each for 250 people, a chapel for up to 1000 people, a library capacity for 100,000 volumes and wireless access for all students. In order to facilitate training for our counselling courses, there are now 8 counselling rooms available. All these facilities are the fulfilment of part of the vision borne by the College Board – transforming TCA College to a multi-disciplinary college that provides a holistic education for the training of effective leaders in both the Church and the market place.

First Cohort of PhD Research Students |
| First Cohort of PhD Research Students
18 Aug 07
The first batch of PhD Research Students have begun their studies in August. They will be spending the next few months working on their Dissertation Proposal with the guidance from their respective supervisors. Completing a PhD is a unique journey with some unique challenges, not the least of which is developing the resilience required to stay the distance and persist when the going gets tough. A 2-day Doctoral Research Methodology Module was conducted for the Research students on 15 and 16 August helping them to understand the process, methods and requirements better. The module aims at helping them maintain their motivation and focus and achieve the goal of successfully completing a PhD.

The library has moved!
All faculty, staff and some students rolled up their sleeves and helped in the packing up of the library at Adam on 2nd and 3rd of Aug and did the unpacking on 13th and 14th of August. It was all hard work but soon we will be able to enjoy first-class facilities at the new library at Trinity@Paya Lebar with state-of-the-art design. The College has also invested in a new library system and we will be able to search for our books through the online catalogue in the future. The new library is able to hold 100,000 volumes of books and there are 10 spanking new computers. Students can access the Internet via the wireless network throughout the library. Bear with the College for just a little while as the librarians continue to work hard at the setting up of the new library. Thanks to all faculty, staff and students who have helped in the historic move!
