ORIGIN OF THE COLLEGE:

The idea of establishing a College under the Synod, where secular subjects would be taught while imparting Christian values and worldview, was brought in the form of Synod’s agenda item by Hmarchhak Presbytery in 1995. After careful considerations, the Synod of 1996 declined the Presbytery’s proposal. Again in 2001, the same Hmarchhak Presbytery raised the same issue  at the Synod, which accepted the proposal, and the Synod Executive Committee (SEC) was entrusted to do a thorough study and come back with its report and recommendations on the question. The SEC formed a Study Team of ten members in 2002, which took its time in carefully studying the pros and cons of establishment of such an institution. In 2010 three Presbyteries viz. Aizawl West, Chhimphei and Bethel, came up afresh with the same proposal, Bethel Presbytery in its resolution noting that the Study Team’s progress needed to be expedited.

The Synod resolved that the issue be given more importance by the SEC. When the Study Team’s Report was taken up in 2011 Synod, the idea was shelved for the time as the Synod felt establishing a college was yet beyond the financial capacity of the Synod. In 2017, the land at Tanhril area having been acquired by the Synod for some good purpose, the Aizawl West 1, Aizawl West 2 and Champhai North Presbyteries separately again brought the issue to the Synod, thinking that the land at Tanhril could be suitably utilized for the College campus. The Synod then passed the resolution of starting the Mizoram Christian College. The 2018 Synod further resolved that the Church’s land at Tanhril shall be used for the College campus, and the adjoining private lands should be purchased to make the area sufficiently large enough for a college campus.

THE CAMPUS:

The MCC Campus at Tanhril is 39891 square metres in area, suitably located on the eastern side of the main road going to the MZU campus, which is about one kilometer further down. The Baptist Church of Mizoram’s Theological College, Academy of Integrated Christian Studies campus is in the neighbourhood. The land is well demarcated by natural boundaries, thus making it an ideal place for maintaining academic atmosphere. The main building is planned to be constructed at the top of a hillock, with very easy access from the main road. There is enough space on the lower sides of the hill for locating various academic and administrative buildings for different streams and departments, including staff housing and other facilities. On the northeastern side of the land is a beautiful wooded part with tall trees, which can be utilized for botanical garden and other purposes. Small streams flow downhill around the campus. It has all the features that can be developed into a beautiful campus. The College will be housed in any suitable place until the campus at Tanhril is fully ready. As of now, the college is temporarily run in one of the buildings within the campus of the Synod Higher Secondary School, Mission Vengthlang, Aizawl, sharing the facilities of the School.
