Personally Recommended
School of Theology Singapore (SOT)
As a 2024 graduate of the Diploma of Ministry (DipMin) program at SOT Singapore, this Bible school holds a very special place in my heart. Those six months were deeply transformative — spiritually, relationally, and personally. SOT is where I built life-giving friendships, experienced hands-on ministry, grew in prayer and the Word, and discovered a deeper sense of calling. The way I pray, study the Bible, and serve today is shaped directly by that time at SOT.
