About Us

Our Heart for People

Out of a heart to see people live a life of significance and a desire to reach people and build lives, lead Pastor Steve Robinson, along with other Church of the King staff and advisors, birthed what is now called LEAD College, in August of 2009. 

LEAD College is more than a school; it is an experience that reaches around the world. It offers opportunities for anyone to receive hands-on ministry experience, training from pastors and missionaries and the chance to gain accredited Bible classes. LEAD College is not your ordinary college. Birthed in Mandeville, Louisiana, with a local footprint in the central Gulf Coast, LEAD College was founded to champion the calling of students for ministry and the marketplace.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Your academic experience is an important component of your time at LEAD College. Our goal is to develop you as a learner and a leader dedicated to excellence. We are committed to walk alongside you, and to provide the education and skills necessary for you to fulfill God’s calling on your life.

Ministry Training

Ministry training at LEAD College is what sets us apart from a traditional college. At LEAD College, we pair academic biblical training with hands-on application in ministry that empowers students to take ownership in every area of life. Students get the leadership training and opportunities to develop the skills needed to change the world.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

LEAD College challenges students to live a life of excellence through living a healthy, active lifestyle and growing their leadership abilities. During their time at LEAD College, students will be trained in key areas of leadership that will help them succeed in ministry and marketplace. 

Spiritual Formation

While at LEAD College, it is our hope that students would develop life-long friendships with one another. We believe in the power of community and discipleship and how it helps shape the life of every believer throughout their journey, which is why our staff strives to foster an atmosphere of community in every setting.

Church of the King

Reaching People, Building Lives

Church of the King was founded in 1999 by Pastor Steve and Jennifer Robinson. From 19 people in attendance at the first service in a small church in Mandeville, Louisiana, Church of the King now ministers to more than 7,300 people locally in weekend services. To fulfill our vision of Reaching People, Building Lives, Church of the King now has multiple campuses in the Mississippi and Gulf Coast region as well as an online campus with an international reach. 
 
Because Reaching People, Building Lives takes great leadership, LEAD College was created by Pastor Steve to train the next generation of leaders. Our students have the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience in our church’s dynamic ministries as well as with top local professionals in a variety of fields. Through LEAD College, Church of the King is Building Leaders to Reach the World.
