What We Believe
Statement of Faith
King of Kings University is grounded in the following foundational beliefs that guide every aspect of our academic and spiritual community.
We believe in the plenary verbal inspiration of the Bible — the completed canon of the Old and New Testaments, inerrant in the original manuscripts and infallible in its truth for faith and life.
We believe in the Gospel of salvation through the Cross — that humankind is lost without Jesus the Savior, whose atoning blood and substitutionary death alone provide forgiveness and eternal life.
We believe in the literal reality of the virgin birth, reconciling death, bodily resurrection, personal ascension, and promised Second Coming of Jesus, the Messiah.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit's gifts and works of power through the Church, beginning with the believer's receiving the Baptism with the Holy Spirit as at the beginning.
We believe in the Savior's great commission to go into all the world preaching the Gospel, baptizing, and making disciples of all nations.
We believe in showing love and good works toward all humanity in serving human need, that the Gospel not be reproached, and that God's love be seen in practice as well as proclamation.
We believe in the essential unity of the Church under the Saviorhood and Lordship of Christ, with a commitment to respond to His prayer "that they may be one" in the Spirit of humility and love.
We believe in the final judgment of all humankind into eternal union or eternal separation from God — ministering in this light with the passion of those who believe in John 3:16.
