Here is the revised English introduction, updating the designation from “University” to “College” (GTCC College / General Trias College of Cavite).

Here is the introduction to GTCC College (General Trias College of Cavite), an official educational institution under the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Korea (Hanyoung) and a core hub for global educational mission.

GTCC College is a unique theological and educational institution that goes beyond a standard domestic seminary, offering officially accredited degrees in the Philippines alongside a robust global network.

1. Overview: A Global Christian College Rooted in the Philippines

GTCC College is a private higher education institution based in General Trias, Cavite, Philippines. It was established through the dedicated educational mission of Missionary Nak-shin Kim, who belongs to the Presbyterian Church of Korea (Hanyoung) General Assembly.

The college’s greatest strength is that it is fully accredited by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) of the Philippines. Consequently, the degrees conferred here—including Bachelor of Arts in Theology (B.A.), Master of Divinity (M.Div), Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S), and Doctor of Theology (Th.D)—are regular degrees recognized internationally.

2. Key Educational Features and Curriculum

💻 Blended & Integrated Learning (Online/Offline)

To increase accessibility for domestic and international ministers and aspiring pastors, GTCC offers a modular curriculum that connects online lectures, intensive seminars, and practical ministry training. This flexible academic system allows students to balance their studies with their current livelihoods or active ministries.

🌐 Domestic and International Extension Classes (Learning Centers)

GTCC operates various learning centers to provide customized education and 1:1 academic coaching. These centers are located in major regions of South Korea—including the Seoul-Gangnam campus, Chungcheong/Gangwon, Honam/Yeongnam, and Jeju—as well as in international locations such as Vietnam, Africa, and the Philippines.

📚 Balance of Academic Excellence and Spirituality (Reformed Theology)

While building a solid academic foundation through the study of original biblical languages (Hebrew and Greek) and Systematic Theology, the college heavily emphasizes Practical Theology (Preaching, Counseling, Mission Strategy) and spiritual discipline to respond effectively to modern societal issues.

• Pastoral Ministry & Missions: Senior/Associate pastors within the denomination, professional overseas missionaries, military chaplains, and prison ministers.

• Education & Counseling: Christian education directors, youth ministers, and professional Christian counselors.
