COMMUNITY LIFE

General

Community Life in MCT is focused upon Holistic life. MCT believes in enabling all members of the community – students, faculty members, their spouses and children, non teaching staff and their families to live and to grow together in a serene ambience of Christ centred community. MCT places high value on student’s Spiritual development.

Formation of Christian Character through relating with others by greeting, respecting and sharing life values with others is given importance. The Christian character is shaped and moulded in MCT through daily Worship and their behaviour in the Hostel, Dining Hall, Play Ground, Library, Conferences and during ministerial opportunities. These informal facets of the community focus upon life and are considered significant to the formal life discipline.
