Built on Calling.
Rooted in Community.
Kingdom Theological Seminary was born out of a conviction that the Church deserves leaders who are not merely called — but equipped, formed, and sent. We exist at the intersection of academic excellence and authentic community, believing that seminary should be a place of transformation, not just information.
Our roots run deep in Houston — a city that reflects the diversity and complexity of the Kingdom itself. From our founding, KTS has been committed to making world-class theological education accessible to every believer who hears God's call, regardless of their starting point.
"It's the place where you can study for the rest of your life, without student loans for the rest of your life."— Kingdom Theological Seminary

With over 40 years of executive ministry experience, Dr. Carson brings unparalleled depth to KTS's mission of equipping the next generation of leaders.
A prolific author of over 260 Kingdom-focused books and curricula, his life story is a living testament to the transforming power of biblical preparation — and the very mission KTS was built upon.
