Read MoreSupport The King's College during our time of financial need
Now, more than ever, The King’s College needs your support. This year, we have been caught in the perfect storm of a slow, post-COVID-19 recovery, an economic decline, and rising interest rates which have complicated the sale of our DeVos building.
So far the King’s community has joined together and donated nearly $500,000 towards our $2.6 million financial need. Your continued support is sustaining the College during this challenging season and making it possible for us to continue to press forward with the work that God has called us to do.
If you haven’t given yet, we encourage you to join with the students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends of King’s by donating to the College at this time. The future of the College hinges on your generous support of our mission.

At King’s you’ll be challenged to grow, with a business casual dress code, professors who set the bar high, and peers who come from everywhere and are up to everything.
Here’s how you can advance the mission of The King’s College.
Jessica Lee
The King’s College 2014, J.D. Fordham University
Jessica’s legal expertise has led to a range of positions in the field, from judicial law clerk to Chief Judge Thomas E. Johnston in the Southern District of West Virginia, to Assistant Solicitor General for the State of West Virginia. While still early in her career, she’s had the opportunity to intervene in injustice, such as by advocating for the First Amendment free-speech rights of Christians to publicly express their faith in the face of a discriminatory city ordinance. Jessica credits King’s for preparing her well for law school and for a career giving voice to the voiceless: “King’s helped me understand that ‘I can’t’ is never an option and that God has planted the will and the way inside of us to go the distance in whatever field we’re called to.”
Kellen DiStefano
The King’s College 2008; M.B.A. Fuqua School of Business at Duke University
After graduating from King’s, Kellen worked for eight years at PEI Funds, a New York investment fund. He then received his M.B.A. from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and has continued to move forward in the world of business. He values the politics, philosophy, and economics core that King’s requires as well as its setting in New York City. “I learned how to think critically and communicate clearly, and I sharpened my skills working alongside incredibly talented people in the City.”
Aaron Craig
The King’s College 2010; Filmmaker and Co-Founder of We Are Films
The co-founder of video production company We Are Films, Aaron has directed videos for Sufjan Stevens, the Cold War Kids, Nike, Andy Mineo, Microsoft, Virgin Atlantic Airlines, Squarespace, RedBull, and many more. He also had a short film shown at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France. Aaron says, “We’re always striving for excellence, but in a way that’s different: no shortcuts, no excuses, and no taking advantage of people. The film industry has a reputation for being cutthroat, backstabbing, and grueling. It’s true—especially in NYC—but it doesn’t have to be that way.”
Elisa Lambert
The King’s College 2014; Measuring and Advancing Human Flourishing
“At first glance, you’d think evaluation and the humanities would have little to do with each other. Yet, both look at how people are shaped and influenced,” says Elisa Lambert, who took her Media, Culture, and the Arts degree from King’s into work at The Bowery Mission, where she created and evaluated program structures to enable teams to serve the community. More recently, she pursued a double master’s degree in Sociology and Public Administration at the University of Colorado. “There are some wounds which will never heal, at least in this life,” Elisa says, “But I want to protect who I can, do what I can, and heal what I can, anxiously awaiting Christ’s return.”
