Summary: Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) began in 1967 as the speaking platform for Kenneth Copeland. Besides offices in the United States, KCM has offices in Canada, Africa, Asia, Australia, Ukraine and Latin America.
As a media platform, it has broadcasting programming going on 24/7. A significant emphasis is on worldly success and the power of one to control their own future through positive words by “speaking” their desires into reality and positive acts. It is what is labeled “Word of Faith” or “Prosperity Theology”.
KCM also created a “college” that offers a two-year program that KCM indicates that its teaching “embodies the foundational teachings of Kenneth Copeland MInistries”.
Part of the current operation is used for religious worship at Eagle Mountain International Church; however, all activities are under the umbrella of a “church” for IRS purposes, so that it does not file an IRS form 990; and because of that, less information is available to the public at large.
More than 20 family members have been employed by Kenneth Copeland Ministries. Besides Kenneth and Gloria Copeland as the founders, speakers and authors, their son-in-law George Pearsons is the CEO of KCM and co-pastor to Eagle Mountain International Church. Copeland’s oldest daughter, Terri is the CEO of the Kenneth Copeland Bible College and is listed as KCM’s “Chief Visionary Officer” and co-pastor to Eagle Mountain International Church. Copeland’s other daughter Kellie is Manager of Covenant Partner Services and is also referred to as “Commander Kellie”. Copeland’s son, John, worked for KCM in various positions for 23 years, including serving as CEO until 2017.
KCM also produces, and sells a constant stream of books, ebooks, CDs, and other media of the Copeland’s. They also sell various apparel and merchandise for both children and adults, hats, hoodies, jackets, shirts and various other miscellaneous merchandise.
