Virtually every aspect of a student’s experience at The King’s College is shaped by their involvement in their House. Student-led, mission-driven communities, the Houses are here to support, encourage, and develop.

Each new student at The King’s College becomes a member of one of ten Houses, each named for a notable leader who embodies the ideals of The King’s College. Through their House, students will have countless opportunities to build close relationships, join together to explore New York City, grow spiritually and intellectually, and have fun.

The King’s College Houses breathe life into the student body.

Strong Relationships
Houses are communities in which students develop strong ties and discover the meaning of friendship. These relationships will last for years to come.

Spiritual Growth
Whether it’s connecting in small groups, praying for each other, or working together on a project to influence people in New York City, Houses provide multiple opportunities for Christian growth. House members challenge one another to pursue God.

Intellectual Life
Houses support the intellectual life of King's. Whether it is academic accountability through the Scholar, faculty-led book discussions, or attending issue-oriented events in New York City, Houses provide opportunities for members to think deeply about the ideas that move the world.

Leadership Culture
Students lead students and learn invaluable lessons about teamwork and influence. Upperclassmen, elected by their peers, shape the House and, consequently, the entire student body.

Cause-Centered
House involvement opens doors to make a difference. Members work together to influence New York City, reaching out to local high schools, coordinating blood drives, or mentoring urban youth. Some even travel together to other nations.
