History[]
The university was founded by Dr. Jack W. Hayford with The Church On The Way as The King’s College and Seminary, in Van Nuys, (San Fernando Valley), California, in 1997.[2] In 2012, the school modified its name to become "The King's University" and opened a campus in Southlake, Texas sponsored by Gateway Church (Texas).[3] In 2013, the main campus and administration left California and permanently moved to Southlake.[4]
Academics[]
It offers associate degrees in Christian ministries and worship leadership; bachelor's degrees in Biblical and theological studies, Biblical counseling, Christian ministries, cross-cultural ministry, and general Christian studies; and a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree.[5][6] It has articulation agreements which allow for transfer of credit with Christ for the Nations Institute and several internship programs among others.[7]
It is accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) and the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE).[8]
