Kenneth Copeland (born December 6, 1936 in Lubbock, TX) is a Pentecostal Word of Faith preacher and televangelist.
Kenneth Copeland claimed to be a successful pop singer before turning his life over to ministry work following his conversion on November 2, 1962. In the 1960s, he was a pilot for faith healer Oral Roberts. Copeland attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but never graduated. Later he studied under another Pentecostal evangelist, Kenneth E. Hagin. His ministry grew through the 1970s, and in 1979, "Believer's Voice of Victory" first appeared on television.
Kenneth Copeland Ministries has its headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. Since 1991, Copeland and his wife, Gloria, have been holding annual week-long "Believers' Conventions" in both California and Texas. His recent regular preaching partners at these events have been Creflo A. Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, and Jerry Savelle.

Hello!! :o) As a Christian - I'm always on guard when it comes to televangelists. But I think there are few that seem genuine. I would say that Kenneth Copeland is a 'good guy'. This doesn't mean that I necessarily agree with everything he says - but that has nothing to do with whether or not I think he's OK. Craig!! :o)

A hack. He fits the profile of a false teacher leading people away from God. (2 Tim 4:3-4)

As a preacher he sure is a good singer. I feel the man is too much of a "gain is godliness" preacher instead of a Jesus man. As you know (or should know) the Apostle Paul warned us about men who preach that gain is godliness.

I am suspicious of Copeland & all his ilk. I am disappointment in our religious leaders. They say one thing & do something else. I do know there are GREAT leaders in our world & that God is good. I am leary of those in the media spot light.

I love the way he preaches and the great show he puts on. I enjoy it so much I am not sure what his message is.

Mortal men are not to be trusted only God and his son Jesus, these men are here to be a sort of shepard when to those who are lost, they do their job to those who need it, but most christians don't need it,....there is a realization that you can only trust God and not man.
