Service and Stewardship

Life isn’t all about ourselves--- it’s about reaching out and applying our talents to the services of others. Service extends from our neighbor to our community and onward, throughout the world. At King College, you’ll have many opportunities to participate in service learning through chapels, a convocation series, ministry groups and service projects.

Through our many service opportunities, you’ll learn that when you touch the lives of others, you also grow.

Learn who you are

College is about discovering who you are and what you believe. At King, you’ll have many opportunities to explore Christian beliefs and the spiritual traditions of other students in a liberating atmosphere that supports expressions of faith. You’ll study a series of social, scientific, and philosophical concepts to challenge you to consider your beliefs and values and to explore those of others in a supportive environment that welcomes all students.

 King College is founded on the core belief that because God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the one who is creator, redeemer and sustainer of all life, all aspects of our knowledge are wonderfully interrelated. Thus, by excelling in our study and vocations, we respond to God’s call to utilize talents and abilities to their full potential. By seeking to transform our culture in Christ, we respond as stewards of God’s creation, agents of peach, lovers of truth, creators of beauty, and servants of reconciliation.

Stewardship of mind

Transformation of culture in Christ requires the community of learners—students, faculty and staff---to think deeply about both western and non-western cultures and to appreciate their values as well as to criticize their liabilities, to join with people from diverse backgrounds in pursuit of worthwhile goals, to be challenged by suffering and injustice, to understand those who hold different world views, and to learn how to participate effectively in the larger society.

Stewards of spirit

King College positions itself as a college that prepares you to engage the world and nurtures you in vital Christian faith, rather than a college with an inward focus that attempts to protect and separate you from the larger culture and the world. King College seeks to foster a campus ethos that stresses the importance of exploration, personal initiative, character, collegiality, humane instincts, aesthetic sensitivities, and leadership.
