Campus Ministry plays a prominent role in the life of the University. From worship services and communal prayer to discipleship opportunities, all students are encouraged to participate in spiritual formation.
While there are many opportunities for spiritual growth on campus, it is important for students to be engaged with a local church. Student Life has connections with a wide range of worshipping communities they can connect with students.
Led by the Residence Life Coordinator (RLC) and assisted by a team of student leaders known as Residence Assistants (RAs), residence life is designed to build community, engage students in co-curricular learning and provide opportunities for connection with peers. Students are encouraged to consider this option because of its many advantages. Living in residence, students often experience the best of campus life: the enhanced sense of community and belonging draws people into close relationships and provides excellent opportunities for the development of life skills.
In general, residence spaces are rented out to full-time students only. Any requests for exceptions to the policy must be submitted, in writing, to the Residence Life Coordinator.
International students who are required by Immigration Canada to have a custodian are not eligible to live in the King's Residence. Students who require daily care by a third party are also not eligible to live in King's Residence.

Tower living is spacious, comfortable, and convenient. With immediate access to King's campus, students living in the Tower can be out of their rooms and sitting in class within minutes! Five stories of the King's Tower are dedicated to single or double occupancy dorm-style living, and two stories are dedicated to suite-style living - each option dependent on availability. Tower living is ideal for students of all ages who are excited about making friends and getting involved with the King's community. Living and programming in the Tower lends itself to countless opportunities for community engagement and the formation of close relationships.
There are two living options available in the Tower: dorm-style rooms are set up to be shared by two students of the same gender (though some single occupancy rooms may be available) and include their own bathroom. Suites are designed for four students of the same gender and include two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and a living area complete with kitchenette. All Tower residents living in double or single accommodation are required to purchase a prepaid food services account. Suite residents are encouraged to purchase prepaid food services.

The King's University Student Life department hosts programming for its many commuter students.
