School of Theology (English)

Studying at TCA has helped me to gain deeper insights into my journey of knowing God and has allowed me to test my faith. I now understand on a deeper level why we have certain beliefs and that enhances my faith journey.

TCA has been so pivotal in my preparation for ministry. I'm thankful for the opportunity to learn under stellar professors, who have ignited my 'faith seeking understanding' journey and inspired me to continue seeking the Lord in academia. I'm also thankful to have crossed paths with many like-minded peers who are also pursuing the Lord in full time ministry; their obedience and faithfulness has encouraged and spurred me on in many ways. Truly grateful for this place, thank you TCA. Attending TCA has led me to an amazing transformation in my spiritual journey. It has deepened my understanding of God's word, strengthened my theological convictions, and provided me with a solid foundation for living out my faith. Additionally, exposure to diverse perspectives and theological debates has challenged and refined my beliefs, fostering a more mature and thoughtful approach to my relationship with God and others. Overall, the learning journey and experience in TCA have empowered me to be better equipped for ministry and service.

I am thankful that TCA has offered a full online curriculum. This allowed someone like me, who does shift work, to study without affecting my work schedule. Studying online, I still managed to interact and get to know my classmates through forum discussions. This learning experience has allowed me to access my classmates' and instructors' posts and responses which have widened my knowledge by considering different perspectives, teachings, and experiences shared. TCA has helped bring my faith in God to another level in deepening my study and interpretation of the Scriptures. The different courses have widened my knowledge and helped me understand Christian beliefs and practices and the importance of knowing why we do what we do. Understanding the world and other religious beliefs and practices has also informed how I share the Gospel with others.

I have learned to think critically and independently in the study of Theology. These thinking skills have benefitted me in all areas of my life, not just in my studies. The more I learned about God's Word, the more I am in awe of Him, and the desire to pursue Him and go deeper in His Word has gotten stronger.

I enjoyed the intellectual rigor of the program. It exposed me to the various theological persuasions including those that are diametrically opposite of the views that I held for many years. These views are not necessarily less biblical. I believe this is a testament to the richness of God's Word and the wide spectrum of the wisdom He has endowed humankind. More importantly, was my personal spiritual development through the program. I learned to view and interpret the Scriptures through a wider lens. I now interpret Scripture from a synergetic view of the evangelical as well as charismatic position. The result is a richer and more powerful Christian life that might have eluded me if not for this program. I am immensely thankful to God and my professors for this journey.
