Director of Culinary Services

Chris Moore

On behalf of the Leadership Team of The King's Academy, it is my honor to inform all stakeholders of an exciting addition to our staff. The King’s Academy is excited to announce the hiring of Christopher Moore as Director of Culinary Services.

Our Lord has made His direction clear to us as we have sought His will and discernment in filling the role. Please join me in welcoming Chris Moore to our team here at TKA.

Chris and Shannon Moore have been married for 27 years. They have two sons, William and Sean. After graduating from The Culinary Institute of America, Chris and Shannon headed to San Francisco where the farm to table culture was exploding. After short stints at local restaurants, they opened Rocco's Seafood Grill on Van Ness which became a popular San Fran Seafood haunt and received high reviews from the SF Chronicle. After William was born, Chris worked in the following cities to continue honing his culinary experience: Charleston, Atlanta, Houston, and Colorado. The move to Colorado was a catalyst God used to get Chris’ attention and he accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. Shannon was having the same experience at a church the same day, and they were saved at the same time. Then, it was home to East Tennessee as the chef for Stokely Hospitality, followed by 10 years at the Knoxville Convention Center. Before the pandemic, he was the corporate chef for Regal and was asked to develop the Cinebarre in Knoxville, which was proliferated nationally. He then served with Pioneer College Caterers at Johnson University before becoming a managing partner at Mama C's, inc.

God has very clearly called Chris to join Shannon here at The King's Academy. A vision for the TKA Culinary Program and Food services was planted in Chris’ heart. He is excited to co-labor for the Lord, reach the lost, and equip the brethren to fulfill the great commission, all for His Glory!

TKA Visitor Policy

In order to help maintain a safe and instructionally based learning environment for our students, all visitors for middle and high school must enter through the front door of the Anderson Building and sign in in the middle/high school office in order to receive a visitor's pass. All visitors for elementary must enter the front door of the Ogle Building in order to receive a visitor's pass. This pass should be visible at all times so that TKA faculty and staff know that you have checked in at the office.

Our doors are open to visitors, but please call ahead of time to schedule conferences with your child’s teachers. This will prevent interruptions to instruction and the loss of the valuable learning time of our students. Adults will not be allowed to wander the halls of the building or hold conferences with teachers during instructional times.

TKA family lunch visitors should follow the above procedure. Lunch tickets are $5 each.

Students who are not enrolled at TKA are not permitted to visit TKA students during the school day, which includes lunch.

This policy has been developed in order to help maintain a safe and instruction focused environment at school each day. Any visitor who does not meet these expectations may be asked to leave school grounds.
