    THE KING’S UNIVERSITY Jack W. Hayford, Founder and Chancellor 2013-2014 Catalog Equipping Bible-Based, Christ-Centered, Theologically-Balanced, Culturally-Sensitive, Spirit-Empowered, Ministry-Minded, Servant Leaders for a New Millennium The King’s University 2121 E. Southlake Blvd. • Southlake, TX 76092 • Phone 817.552.3700 tku.edu 2 3 A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER Within the 21st century Church, there is a distinct need for an educational center of theological and ministerial training that is entirely committed to the biblical message, spiritual values, and passionate character of the Full-Gospel, Spirit-filled tradition of the global Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement. An educational center focused on the formation of spiritual servants who are as disciplined in the workings of the Holy Spirit as they are in the Word of God, so they may serve to cultivate a people of God who are balanced in their worship, witness, work, and warfare. The King’s University exists for all who seek a ministry that is: • Uncompromisingly biblical in theology and practice; • Ceaselessly passionate in pursuit of the Holy Spirit’s graces, gifts, and governing; and • Devotedly committed to the priorities of prayer, Spirit-filled worship, Spirit-inspired witness, and spiritual warfare. With this mission and purpose in mind for The King’s University, I am pleased to invite you to consider training here whether for professional ministry or for personal enrichment. I am thrilled that you have decided to obey God and to either step out in faith to begin the pilgrimage of preparing for the ministry and servanthood to which the Father is calling you, or having begun ministry, you have decided to better equip yourself to be a more effective servant in the Kingdom.

  • CCCU Faculty Salary Survey 2016-17
    CCCU Faculty Salary Survey: 2016-17 Update by Nita Stemmler, Council for Christian Colleges & Universities Introduction. This is the thirty-third in an annual series of research reports conducted by the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU). The purpose of this study is to provide CCCU Governing Member institutions with comparative and longitudinal salary data. The research has traditionally been based on information compiled for the AAUP, appearing in Academe each spring (for the current study, from March/April, 2017). Fifty-seven CCCU institutions of 111 US- based schools are not represented in the AAUP survey this year. For these members, the author used data surveyed by the CCCU. Nine schools are not represented in this study due to a lack of available data. Due to changes in CCCU membership categories, only governing members are included in this survey, however, we have added a new appendix based on Carnegie Classifications that allow us to include collaborative partners and affiliate members. Readers should keep in mind these data sources when considering any analysis. Schools in the group which did not report data to Academe but which did respond to the CCCU survey used the definitions from the AAUP survey to help attain similarity and comparability. Academe requests salary information based on a 9-month contract, and this has meant that some universities have had to recalculate salaries if significant numbers of faculty work a ten-month or eleven-month academic year. General Findings. Table I (below) summarizes the central tendencies for salaries, by rank, for the past ten years of the study period.

  • KING UNIVERSITY PUBLIC INFRACTIONS DECISION September 4, 2020
    KING UNIVERSITY PUBLIC INFRACTIONS DECISION September 4, 2020 I. INTRODUCTION The NCAA Division II Committee on Infractions (COI) is an independent administrative body of the NCAA comprised of individuals from the Division II membership and the public. The COI decides infractions cases involving member institutions and their staffs. This case centered on the men's basketball program at King University and involved violations in the institutional work- study program, impermissible inducements and benefits and academic misconduct.1 The work- study violations occurred when men's basketball student-athletes were paid for work they did not perform, while the other violations involved the program's associate head coach (associate head coach) providing impermissible inducements to two prospects and engaging in academic misconduct on behalf of an enrolled student-athlete. Finally, the violations established that both King and the head men's basketball coach (head coach) failed to monitor aspects of the men's basketball program. The work-study violations were rooted in King's work-study program, which a financial aid counselor (counselor) later described as loosely run. The program's shortcomings included King's failure to properly train the associate head coach and his own failure to ensure that the workers accurately reported their hours. The inducement and ethical conduct violations could have easily been avoided if the men's basketball staff had consulted with the compliance office regarding the permissibility of their actions. Instead, the coaches substituted their own judgement and assumed they were right. With their experience, they either should have known the applicable rules or should have checked with the compliance office.
