About Our Christian Belief

While KIU is a conservative mainstream evangelical Christian organization, it welcomes students and parents of any Christian or religious background. Although KIU respects one's choice of religious belief, those of different religious persuasions are not to practice their religion or evangelize their particular belief at school.
