Evening at The King’s
An experience of celebration, connection, and Kingdom impact.
Multiply Kingdom Impact
The King’s University exists to prepare Spirit-formed leaders for God’s work. That mission comes to life through students who are growing in their faith, deepening their understanding of God’s Word, and preparing to serve wherever He leads.
Evening at The King’s is an invitation to experience that work in a personal way. Throughout the event, you’ll meet students whose lives are being shaped through The King’s, hear stories of transformation, honor this year’s recipient of the Jack W. Hayford Lifetime Achievement Award, and discover how your investment multiplies Kingdom impact.

Honoring A Legacy of Kingdom Leadership
Lee Stafford Mimms
Lee Mimms has spent a lifetime creating unforgettable experiences through entertainment, event production, and artist management. Throughout his distinguished career, he helped produce the opening celebration of Walt Disney World and guided the careers of celebrated entertainers and athletes, including Olympic gold medalist Peggy Fleming.
After a life-changing encounter with Jesus, Lee formed a lifelong friendship with Pastor Jack Hayford. From 2002 to 2014, at Pastor Jack’s invitation, he brought his creativity and vision to The King’s University, producing many of its most memorable events. Today, he continues to serve as an ambassador for The King’s.
