St Peter’s Hall (SPH) was started by the diocese in 1954 as a residential hall for the training of persons preparing to serve in the church. It was from the beginning closely associated with Trinity Theological College (TTC) and complemented TTC’s general seminary education with contextualized spiritual formation for full-time Anglican ministry. Up till 2021, this continued to be the main role and function of SPH.

A major shift was instituted by then Bishop (now Archbishop) Titus Chung in 2021. In his own words:

"In the early days after I knew I was appointed to be Bishop, I prayed about the needs of the Diocese. Given the volatile state of the world and its subtle influences upon church members, how can the Church still be Church, and fulfill her duty to be the custodian of the faith?

Clearly, theological training and various forms of education would play an important part in addressing this need. I was convinced the Diocese needed a vehicle to provide sustained and clear training and equipping.

I decided that St Peter’s Hall, already having 65 years of track record in training, could be restructured and given a new mandate to be that vehicle, and become the Training Arm of the entire Diocese."
