FAQs

This programme is designed for young adults who are entering university in 2026, or just about anyone facing the transition from youth into young-adulthood. Our focus is preparing young adults for the transition to tertiary education and beyond, and to provide a community that will be an anchor in this season of change.

If you are currently doing polytechnic studies and going to National Service in 2026, IDMC|Uni 2026 is also for you!

IDMC|Uni 2025 will run from 16 March 2026 (Mon) to 6 June 2026 (Sat). It is a full-time non-residential programme. IDMC|Uni modules will be conducted from 8.30am - 5pm on Mon, Wed, Thu, and Fri. We have Tuesdays off. Weekend activities will only happen very rarely (you will be informed in advance).

Registration is now open!

Like everyone else in Singapore, we are experiencing increased costs too. We are keeping costs as low for you as is possible.

IDMC|Uni fees are split into two components: (1) Program fees, and (2) Retreat fees.

(1) Program fees

Covenanters enjoy a heavily subsidised program fee of $155.

Non-CEFC attendees pay $310 (this is still way below cost price).

(2) Retreat fees

Retreat centre booking costs are increasing year on year.

For Covenanters, the 4D3N listening retreat is a mandatory part of the programme. You will need to pay just $80 to cover the cost of food.

For non-CEFC attendees, the 2025 retreat cost is $340 (accomodation and food). The listening retreat is optional if you are not from CEFC, but it is highly recommended.

The programme will be on weekdays (with Tuesday off). Each day the programme will run from 8.30am to 5pm. Throughout the day, you will go for:

(a) Classes which will deepen your understanding of God and His Word and help you shape a biblical worldview;

(b) Group discussions and activities to build spiritual community with your coursemates, and work on projects; and

(c) Experiential projects that will give you opportunities to serve others in the love of Christ.

Classes will be on-site at our church premises unless otherwise stated.

Yes! Please drop us a note at registrar@idmci.edu.sg, and we'll try to link you up with one of our alumni.

The 3-month duration is necessary so that you have enough time to:

• build a stronger foundation in the Scriptures

• develop a missional heart and biblical vision for the world.

• form meaningful spiritual community with your cohort

• build habits in the spiritual disciplines that will serve you well in your next phase of life

We believe in the value of the programme and hence wish that you can participate in all of it. However we understand that there may be commitments that you may need to attend to. We permit up to two weeks of absence from the programme.

If you know in advance that you are going to miss more than two weeks of the programme, you may want to consider whether or not IDMC|Uni 2026 is right for you.

Registration closes on 18 Jan 2026.

Please register early so that we can make the necessary preparations and give you the best possible experience.
