Student Testimonial

“I chose TBC because of its biblical teaching in all degrees. Particularly in a musical background, emotions can get the better of us in worship. But all the courses I have been through have yet to put an emphasis on any emotional aspect. Instead, I have learned that every part of worship should point back to Scripture.”
