While we don’t have tons of rules regarding lifestyle, years of working with people have taught us some practices we consider quite wise, holy & healthy. With this, we do not have co-ed housing available. While we understand this may be normal in some cultures, and may be needed in overseas missions environments, we do discourage this while at KDC. We ask that you honor us by respecting these values in this area. The exception to this would be couples who are in matrimony through a holy covenant.
