Why Alabama?

Alabama in the native tongue means “thicket clearer”.  We are a forerunner state.  It continues to be said… “As Alabama goes so goes the nation”.  If you desire to be a forerunner and pioneer this is the perfect place to be. 

Why Birmingham?

“Birmingham- the world is watching!” is a famous quote made during the Civil Rights Movement.  Much happened in Birmingham that shaped culture, made history, and thankfully elevated the dignity humanity.  That call is still upon this city and all who connect here.  Now it’s our turn!

Birmingham is the only place in the world where all three raw ingredients for steel (coal, limestone, and iron ore) occur naturally within a ten-mile radius.  At King’s Way College you’ll find the raw ingredients and the FIRE needed to forge you into a mature son and daughter of God.
