Chairman's Statement
Rev Yang Tuck Yoong
Chairman of the Board
Attending Tung Ling Bible School (TLBS) is going to be one of the best decisions you have ever made in your life. I know it was for me. I made this decision over 30 years ago as a young student at the university, and it was a defining moment in my life. Not only did the lectures in TLBS ground me in the Word of God, the powerful encounters that one experiences on a daily basis do something to form a person’s character and worldview. But that’s not just my testimony. It is the testimony of thousands who have since graduated from this Bible school and who are now key leaders in the church and marketplace, both locally and abroad.
So, you can tell that I am a little biased when it comes to TLBS. I love this Bible school, and I believe that the school is making a huge impact in the world today. I am deeply indebted to TLBS for those life-changing experiences, and also for being a stepping stone for me to be where I am today. Join me, and the thousands who have been blessed by this amazing school. It is a school of the Holy Spirit and anointed teachers. It is a vortex of spiritual activity. It is Holy ground. And I commend you to consider being a student here.
Welcome From The Deans
Dean Guek Ju and Dean Philip
Tung Ling Bible School (TLBS) which also means “Eastern Mountain”, aims to be a place where every believer who enters, will encounter God in a personal way. We want to break the mold in the way we educate that Christianity is lived out as an experience, not a religion. Our learning environment is creative, truly transformative, and distinctive. Our class size is kept cozy to about 120 participants for the School of Ministry and 35 participants for the School of Leadership. This three-month curriculum is highly interactive, engaging, and relevant in this digitalized world. We are continuously in tune with the Holy Spirit to bring a fresh wind of His wisdom to inspire, impact, and instruct another generation of believers in each cohort.
When Billy Graham first came to Singapore for a nationwide evangelistic crusade in 1978, he prophetically declared Singapore’s destiny as the Antioch of Asia. It was no coincidence that TLBS was birthed that same year, as a timely platform to support the destiny of Singapore. TLBS is an interdenominational Christian worker training school serving the body of Christ. Coming alongside churches, the mission of TLBS is to raise, train and equip Christians for ministry and leadership beyond denominational barriers and geographical boundaries.
Today, TLBS continues to witness the faithfulness of God’s work in equipping the saints for the work of His Kingdom across more than 40 countries. More than 6000 students from different nations have been raised to be spiritually sensitive, culturally relevant, and purposefully engaged in their calling. What is unique about TLBS is that a world of opportunity for kingdom partnerships awaits the students to discover through their class community. There are also opportunities to go on a mission trip or attend a Bible tour to Israel, only accessible to alumni. You will find a learning environment that embraces your creative expression of the Gospel through realizing your God-given dreams and desires.
Whether you are in a season of waiting or longing for a fresh encounter with God, TLBS has something for you. Our dedicated staff team will be delighted to assist with any inquiries you might have. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
