KCU Description

The mission of Kentucky Christian College is to educate students for Christian leadership and service in the Church and in professions throughout the world.

Kentucky Christian University was established in Grayson, Kentucky, on December 1, 1919, as "Christian Normal Institute." Through the years, Kentucky Christian University has educated some of the most outstanding Christian Leaders, both in the church and in other professions throughout the world.

The belief that a Bible core and vocational preparation should coexist is distinctive at Kentucky Christian University. KCU has been equipping students to reach their dreams since its inception in 1919. Over the years those dreams have taken on different forms. Today, that dream may be to become a Youth Minister that changes countless lives. It may be to become a nurse and volunteer your time overseas. It may be to one day own your own record label and distribute your passion through music. Whatever that dream is, KCU is here to train you for it and to change your life in the process. When you leave KCU, you don't just leave with a piece of paper; you leave with an experience that is different from any other. It is an experience that focuses not just on the mind, but the heart and the spirit as well. That is what we mean when we say "KCU... experience difference".
