King's College (New York City)

The King's College (TKC or simply King's) was a private non-denominational Christian liberal arts college in New York City. It was founded in 1938 in Belmar, New Jersey, by Percy Crawford. The college re-located to the state of Delaware in 1941 and then to Briarcliff Manor, New York in 1955. Following its loss of accreditation in December 1993, the college closed in 1994. After being acquired by Campus Crusade for Christ and acquiring Northeastern Bible College, the college reopened in Manhattan in 1999. The college became independent of Campus Crusade in 2012. During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the college faced financial challenges. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education withdrew accreditation from The King's College on August 31, 2023. The college did not open for the fall 2023 semester, but its leaders did not intend for its closure to be permanent. As of January 2024, the college was not accepting applications for admissions. In January 2025, the trustees were seeking "to gift the college, including its charter and intellectual property … to likeminded evangelical Christians who propose the most compelling vision to resume the operations of the college". However, on July 14, 2025, they announced the institution would remain closed permanently and began the process of dissolution.
