“Therefore, go and make disciples"

Matthew 28:19

Discipling Christian university students to impact the world.

Tyrannus and Lydia Halls

Tyrannus and Lydia Halls are small residential discipling communities of Christian men and women attending secular universities, where high-commitment discipleship under Jesus occurs. In these halls, future laypeople, pastors and missionaries of the national church are nourished, challenged and equipped.

Time has proven that Tyrannus and Lydia Halls equip Christians to give leadership to the church and influence their world for Christ through their positions in government, banking, business, academia and missions.

The Halls

20 Tyrannus and Lydia Halls are presently active in 9 countries. Each year they accept hundreds of students into their discipleship community. Halls are established by a local national board in concert with TLH.

The History

Dr. Charles and Elouise Corwin began the first Tyrannus Hall in Tokyo in 1959. Now, Chuck’s vision to equip young men and women through student leadership, authentic relationship, biblical teaching, physical fitness and service has spread to parts of South Asia and Central Europe.

Support Students

Meaningful change happens both within and beyond the Halls. Our approach helps ensure that students have the necessary support and training to make an impact upon their own local families, churches and communities.
