Meet the Director
Dr. David Cole
My passion is to live my life as a facilitator and a bridge in service to persons and communities so that they can thrive in their God-given callings in advancement of the Kingdom of God. I am thrilled and honored to be a colleague alongside amazing, committed individuals who support the unique vision of offering a new generation of students an excellent education that prioritizes a Spirit-empowered experience in the context of partnership with a dynamic and healthy resource church. I love Jesus’ prayer in John 17:23, “May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”  The way we come together as the Body of Christ, under His headship, has such a direct bearing on our success in fulfilling the Great Commission—this never ceases to inspire and challenge me.
The Master of Divinity program provided a solid foundation in Biblical and Theological studies while bringing practical ministry practices to life. During my time in the program, I was encouraged by the faculty, staff and students to live out a Spirit-empowered life focused on Jesus. The program helped me prepare for serving people in pastoral ministry and becoming a more well-rounded servant leader. I am very grateful for the people and the programs at TKU. Glory be to God.

Why The King's
Spirit-formed leaders training Spirit-formed leaders.
Given that many of our credentialed faculty are actively involved in ministry, their teaching comes from a perspective of applied knowledge.
Whole-person formation.
For us, it’s not just about what you learn, it’s about who you become. We believe your transformation for ministry should include deepening your walk with Jesus.
Culture of worship and prayer.
It could be the prayer room, weekly chapel, a classroom, or just a hallway – wherever it occurs, we live a life of prayer and worship.
Community of care.
Whether you take classes online or on-ground, soul care from faculty, staff, and peers extends from the classroom into your daily life.
Growth in difference.
When you get into a classroom with different generations, ethnicities, experiences, and faith journeys, you grow both personally and spiritually. You maintain your difference but you grow in unity.
