Who is Kenneth Copeland?

Kenneth Copeland ( Kenneth Max Copeland )  is an American author and televangelist. In addition as an author, he is associated with the Charismatic movement worth an estimated $ 300 million to $ 760 million. Kenneth organizations are based in Tarrant County, Texas.

Furthermore, Kenneth has been named as a proponent of the prosperity gospel. His evangelism encourages parishioners to give to his church, promising a “hundredfold” return on their contribution. Moreover, he has been criticized for using tax-exempt status and gifts to fund mansions, luxury jets, an airport, and other extravagant expenditures.

During the Corona pandemic in 2020, he continuously cited that the pandemic had ended or will soon end. He went further and claimed that he had the ability to cure his followers of the disease. The followers were supposed to keep paying tithes to him even if they lost their job in the economic crisis that the pandemic had caused. Kenneth went ahead and lied to his followers that he had destroyed the virus and had ended the ongoing pandemic.

Career

Kenneth was a recording artist on the Imperial Records Label. In addition, as an artist, he had one Billboard Top 40 hit known as Pledge of Love which peaked in the Top 40 on April 20, 1957. He peaked at No.17 and stayed on the Charts for 15 weeks. Kenneth then committed his life to gospel and ministry work.

Ministry

Together with his wife Gloria they founded Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) in Fort Worth, Texas. This was after they attended Charismatic Pastor Seminars with Kenneth E. Hagin. “Jesus is Lord,” his ministry’s motto, is derived from Romans 10:9. According to him, the ministry has “brought over 122 million people to the Lord Jesus Christ” in an interview.

TV and Other Programs

For decades his ministry has always held three-to-six-day convection across the United States. However, the number of longer set conventions has decreased in recent years. Furthermore, Kenneth Copeland Ministries still holds an annual Believer’s Convection in his hometown of Fort Worth on the week of July 4th. Together with his wife and ministry friends including some family members, they preach at other conventions and conferences throughout the world.

Moreover, these events are always aired live on Christian television stations such as God TV and the Daystar Television Network, as well as on Copeland’s website, kcm.org. On Sundays, the segments of registered conferences are aired. Monday through Friday, a member of the Copeland church, either alone or with another priest, discusses biblical topics on television.

Facilities

His Ministry, Kenneth Copeland Ministries in Fort Worth, Texa. The ministries are on a 33-acre land, a property which is valued at $554,160 in 2008 by Tarrant Appraisal District. Furthermore, the site entails the Eagle Mountain International Church, television and radio production facilities, storage and storage facility, Copeland family homes, and Kenneth Copeland Airport. All of those are located on the property. KCM has a workforce of around 500 employees. The ministry’s chief executive officer is John Copeland.

The ministry also owns a 1998  Cessna 550 Citation Bravo, which it acquired through a donor in October 2007. The property is used for domestic flights and a 2005 Cessna 750 Citation X that is used for international flights. Furthermore, it is restoring a 1962 Beech H-18 Twin, which the ministry has the plan to use for the disaster relief efforts.

Citation X Allegations

However, Kenneth was accused of using his ministry’s Citation X for personal holidays and associates in February 2007. The Copelands’ financial statements aren’t open to the press, and a list of their board of trustees isn’t available either since these reports are kept private by the Internal Revenue Service.

In his response to the matter from the public, Copeland cited an accounting firm’s declaration that all jet travel is compliant with federal tax laws. However, KCM’s Citation Bravo was denied tax exemption in December 2008 after the company failed to apply a generic Texas Comptroller form.

This comptroller is used by several county assessment districts to make decisions, which would have meant making the salary public for all ministry staff. The ministry went ahead and filed suit with the Tarrant Appraisal District in January 2009. Furthermore, the petition to have the aircraft’s tax-exempt status restored was issued in March 2010. Moreover, the Kenneth Copeland Ministries has taken advantage of an FAA policy that keeps flights private from monitoring websites, and the ministry holds five such aircraft, including the Cessna 750 Citation X mentioned above and a North American T-28 Trojan.
