JOSHUA THOMAS
Lancaster, Lancashire, England
“I LOVE KING’S, I LOVE EDMONTON
AND I LOVE MY PROGRAM!”
A little further from home, Joshua Thomas came to Canada
from Lancaster, Lancashire, England to attend bible school.
Originally intending to return to England afterwards
Thomas says he “fell in love with Canada and decided to look
at schools here. I wanted to study Politics and Economics.”
King’s came up in Thomas’ search so he dug a littler deeper.
“I went on the website, read more about it and got excited
when I saw it was a Christian university. I was sold!” After
his first year at King’s, Thomas says, “It has been great and I
cannot wait to complete my degree here. I love King’s, I love
Edmonton and I love my program!”

DEVYN SMITH
Spruce Grove, AB
“YOU FEEL A PART OF A COMMUNITY AND
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYONE
BECAUSE IT IS SMALL.”
For Devyn Smith of Spruce Grove, AB the decision to come
to King’s was strongly influenced by her sister. “She had
gone to King’s before me to study Psychology so I decided
to try it out for my first year and it was a really good experience.” Smith has always known a small student body in
her primary and secondary education so the size of King’s
was appealing to her. She explains, “I liked that King’s was
a small school because it was what I was used to. You feel a
part of a community and you feel like you know everyone
because it is small.”

The answer to the question “why King’s?” is the foundation for what has yet to unfold in each
student’s unique story. Whether from just outside of the city, another province or another
continent entirely, these students recognized something about King’s they identify with. By
revisiting this question at the end of another school year the experiences of the previous
eight months attest to the choice of the individuals who decided made King’s a part of
their plan.
