New chapel banners were dedicated in January. The banners reflect King’s core values.

The banners on the west wall, inspired by Romans 12:1, I Thessalonians 5:23 and I Peter 1:5, read “Be Transformed,” “Be Sanctified,” and “Add Virtue.” Across the back, hanging from the balcony, the final banner reads, “Love the Lord, you God, with all your heart, soul and mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” King College is located in Bristol, Tennessee.
