The library is fully air-conditioned. Some chairs and tables are available to enable the students to do their research work in the library itself.

Every Tuesday is set apart for prayer and intercession made for the nations. Every Wednesday set apart for students to practice Hearing God. Every Thursday is set aside for mentoring the men's group and women's group in small groups by a faculty member.

International Student Services :
This student's service for international students is presently handled by the school's Dean of Students. All needs and problems can be referred to the person in-charge.
Medical Care and Insurance :
Students are strongly recommended and advised to buy a special local student's medical insurance policy to ensure that their medical needs are taken care of in case they fall sick during their time in Singapore. The cost of medical treatment and hospitalisation are relatively expensive. Therefore, all foreign (Trainer’s) students are covered by an insurance plan under the Trainer’s scholarship plan. Consult the Registrar, if you need help in this area.

Accommodation is available only for single male Trainer student’s at this moment. This housing privilege is given only to overseas Trainer students who are on scholarship. Cooking and laundry facilities are available at each unit of accommodation. Accommodation is available for non-Trainer students and the cost for each single student (male) is S$300.00 per month per person. Whereas, the cost of housing a couple with or without a child in one room unit in Singapore may cost S$1000-1500.
Recreation :
There is recreation facility within the school as well as in the student’s hostel.
Ministry duties :
In order to inculcate humility and Servant-hood in the life of a student, ministry duties are assigned to every student on a daily basis ranging from washing cups to washing toilets.
Field Assignment with the Local Churches :
Each student is assigned to a local church for ministry learning under the nurture of the local church. Every student is expected to carry out the field assignment with the local church as per the assignment made by the school. Hence, each student is advised to have no personal agenda in order to be available to carry out this task, whenever it is required.
