Symposium and Seminar |
| Symposium and Seminar
Our first-ever Symposium held in our new Lecture Theatre in the new Paya Lebar Campus was well attended by members of churches, colleagues and friends from other bible colleges, alumni and students. More than 100 participants attended the ‘Women’s Voices in Bible and Theology’ Symposium on 19th June and we had over 220 attendees for the ‘Breaking Free From Addiction’ Symposium on 20th June.
It was altogether an enriching time with speakers deliberating on issues that ranged from human rights and evangelical foundational fideism on the first day, to understanding social ills like the proliferation of online MMORPG games amongst youngsters in today’s society on the second day.
The College thanks all staff and students who have worked hard for the Symposium and we look forward to organising more Symposiums in the future that will benefit people from all walks of life.
The Chinese Seminar on Modern Trends in Old Testament Studies on 20th June night was also a successful one. Amongst the more than 100 participants, some have even come especially from Malaysia to attend the Seminar. Dr Daniel See was a candid speaker educated in Sheffield University and he shared his insightful views on how to read the Old Testament. The Seminar finished off with a lively Question and Answer session. We will see more of such positive engagements with scholars in the future in our new Campus.

It will showcase woman scholars who have received the most stringent training of the mind from renowned institutions like Cambridge University and the Westminster Seminary. These woman scholars will speak on their areas of specialisation that range from Old Testament, New Testament, and Post Modernism to Theology and Human Rights. The respondents to the presentations will be male ensuring an enriching exchange of ideas. Come and have an engaging time with these acclaimed biblical scholars and theologians who have come from around the world!
On 20 June there will be another Symposium “Breaking Free from Addiction”. It will address various types of behavioral addiction in this post-modern society involving sex, gaming, gambling and the internet. Speakers for this symposium are professional therapists and counsellors from the Institute of Mental Health, Teen Challenge and Fei Yue Community Services. The purpose of this symposium is so that people will have a better understanding of addictions and will learn how to deal with people who need help in breaking free from their bondages.

TCA College continues to absorb GST despite hike |
| TCA College continues to absorb GST despite hike
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be raised from 5% to 7% come July 2007. Despite this hike, TCA College will continue to absorb all GST charges for students till December 2007. This decision is meant to cushion the impact of rising costs on students. In the past TCA College has generously absorbed all GST charges to assist students in their quest to equip themselves for ministry.
TCA College continues to heavily subsidize the cost of education by covering more than two-thirds of the expense. Thus students enjoy a quality education while paying for only one-third of the cost. However, with escalating operational costs, the College has reluctantly decided that from January 2008, students will have to bear the GST charges for all fees.
Students who need financial assistance may apply for the scholarships offered by the College. We also welcome financial contributions from individuals and institutions to partner with us to provide cutting-edge, quality theological education for our students.
