Experience — Kenneth Copeland

About Me

I am the founder of Kenneth Copeland Ministries, a global organization I started with my wife Gloria in 1967 in Fort Worth, Texas. For over 58 years, I have preached the uncompromised Word of God to believers across six continents and 159 countries. I host the daily Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast, have authored more than 72 books, and founded the VICTORY Channel, a 24/7 Christian television network. Before entering ministry, I was a Billboard Top 40 recording artist, a U.S. Army veteran, and a commercial airline pilot. In 2018, I established Kenneth Copeland Bible College to train the next generation of ministers. Everything I do centers on one message: Jesus is Lord.
