The house system...
Out of The King's College desire to develop it's students spiritual, intellectual, and leadership potential, the House System was created. Through student-led, mission-driven communities, the TKC House System prepares citizen leaders who will fundamentally shape the culture of the college today and the fabric of society tomorrow.
Every House bears the name of a notable historic
leader. These leaders have been selected with much thoughtfulness and
intentionality. Each of these men and women, in various ways, left their mark on
the world. Each was a ‘citizen leader,’ standing against evil and working for
the betterment of society. By no means perfect, each in different ways embodied
the ideals of The King’s College and displayed qualities worthy of emulation.
Members of individual Houses are well-served to study the life of their namesake
leader, and to emulate characteristics which marked the life of that person.

Biography
Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts.
Because of her Quaker family's long activist traditions, she developed a sense
of justice and moral zeal very early on.
After teaching for fifteen years, she became active in the temperance movement.
Because she was a woman, she was not allowed to speak at temperance rallies.
This experience, and her acquaintance with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, led her to
join the women's rights movement in 1852. Soon after, Susan dedicated her life
to woman suffrage.
Ignoring opposition and abuse, Susan traveled, lectured and canvassed across the nation for the vote. She also campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's rights to their own property and earnings, and women's labor organizations. In 1900, Anthony persuaded the University of Rochester to admit women.
Anthony, who never married, was aggressive and compassionate by nature. She had
a keen mind and a great ability to inspire. She remained active until her death
on March 13, 1906.

mission statement
Authentic individuals
kindling life through purposeful relationships
Authentic- We value what is real, raw, and genuine.
Individual- We believe that God has created us for specific paths and has
unique plans for our lives. In order to be a successful human being, we need to
know who Christ has fashioned us to be.
Life- We cherish the vibrancy of life through corporate and individual
expression. We understand that life without Christ is contained, reckless,
colorless, and stifled. We are called and equipped to live life abundantly,
moving from glory to glory and strength to strength.
Purposeful- Intentionality is the key to an influential life and the tool
to make a marked difference in the world.
Relationships- True meaning comes through relationships to each other and
to God. Community is how we develop our gifts and face our weaknesses. Community
develops out of commitment and grace. This is integral to practically living out
Biblical principles.
