The King's College was founded in 1938 in Belmar, New Jersey by Percy Crawford. The college re-located to the state of Delaware in 1941 and moved to Briarcliff Manor, New York in 1955. In 1994, the college closed after losing its accreditation in December 1993.
After being taken over by Campus Crusade for Christ, and after acquiring Northeastern Bible College, The King's College re-opened in Manhattan in 1999. The college became independent of Campus Crusade (now known as Cru) in 2012. During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the college faced financial challenges. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education withdrew accreditation from The King's College on August 31, 2023. The college did not open for the fall 2023 semester, but does not intend for its closure to be permanent. As of January 2024, the college was not accepting applications for admissions.
