Here We Grow Again

On behalf of the Leadership Team of The King's Academy, it is my honor to inform all stakeholders of two exciting new additions to our team. I am genuinely excited to have these two gentlemen join our team as I believe they are called to serve at TKA for such a time as this. Our Lord has made His direction clear to us as we have sought His will and discernment in filling our Director of Residence Life and Academic Advancement position as well as creating the position of Chief Operating Officer to best maximize what we do here at the Academy. I am greatly looking forward to seeing how the Lord uses Mr. Tyler Rhoton and Mr. Kendedrick Jones to advance the mission of The King's Academy. Please join me in welcoming these two gentlemen to our team here at TKA.

In Christ Alone,

Jeremy Sandefur
