Overview
The King's University is a small charismatic Christian institution in Southlake, Texas, closely associated with Gateway Church and rooted in the ministry legacy of its founder, pastor Jack Hayford. Its academic identity centers on biblical studies, ministry preparation, and worship leadership rather than a broad liberal-arts catalog.
Academics
Programs are built to train students for vocational ministry, worship leadership, and related church roles, with instruction available both on campus and online. The charismatic and Pentecostal theological tradition runs through coursework rather than sitting alongside it as one option among many.
Worth knowing
Worship and spiritual formation are treated as core parts of the education, not extracurricular add-ons, and the school's identity is inseparable from its close ties to Gateway Church. Students should expect a campus culture organized around that specific charismatic tradition rather than broader interdenominational Christian life.
