Kingdom School of Divinity is stepping boldly into Spring and Summer 2026 with fresh energy, expanded faculty, and transformative new learning opportunities. As a Christ-centered, gospel-rooted institution, KSD continues its mission to equip leaders for faithful service, thoughtful scholarship, and meaningful engagement with the world.

🌱 Spring Term Highlight

Evangelism and Spiritual Warfare

Taught by Dr. Keith Wilks, President

Student Project & Research Coordination: Rev. Brenda Dowdell, M.Div.

This powerful Spring Term module offers students a broad yet deeply theological exploration of evangelism and spiritual warfare. The course examines the Bible’s narrative of the cosmic conflict introduced through the disobedience of the devil and humankind, while equipping students to understand evangelism as both proclamation and spiritual engagement. With academic rigor and pastoral insight, students will be guided through research and practical projects designed to integrate theology with real-world ministry.

🤝 Faculty Expansion & Strategic Leadership

Kingdom School of Divinity is honored to be a member of the Association of Churches of Christ the King, strengthening our shared commitment to sound doctrine, spiritual formation, and collaborative ministry.

We are especially pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Don Davis as Adjunct Professor of Urban Ministry and Director of Credentialing. Dr. Davis is the founder of the Association of Churches of Christ the King and the Torchbearers Institute, and a nationally respected voice in urban ministry formation. He has authored numerous books, curricula, and study resources designed to equip urban leaders, including the Capstone Curriculum and TUMI’s premiere 16-module distance education seminary program. His leadership and legacy of equipping servant-leaders greatly enrich the vision and academic depth of KSD.

Alongside Dr. Davis, we are also grateful to welcome Rev. Brenda Dowdell and Dr. Vince Bantu to the KSD faculty. Their pastoral insight, scholarly excellence, and global perspectives mark an exciting new chapter in our academic community.

Spring and Summer 2026 promise to be seasons of learning, growth, and Kingdom impact at Kingdom School of Divinity. We invite you to join us as we continue sowing seeds for the Kingdom—locally and globally.
