About Us

MTBCBuilding1-2.png

Malaysia Tamil Bible College was established in 1972, to train Tamil speaking and other students in the ministry in Malaysia. It began with a vision, laid in the heart of Dr. CD Thomas, the superintendent of Assemblies of God of Malaya then.

From a rented building in Penang with three students the Institute relocated to an eight-acre property blessed by God in Hutan Melintang, Perak in 1978. The college later moved to Semenyih, Selangor before ultimately purchasing it’s own facility and relocating to Nilai in Negeri Sembilan, where it now operates from.
