What to Bring

Investment of Time, Prayer, and Love
“I’ll never forget how the Bible and Ministry professors at KCU cared about me as a person. They didn’t just see me as a student number. They invested time, prayer, and love into my life and my ministry, and I’m eternally thankful for their influence.”
Iphania Auguste, Class of 2022
