- Eventually, her family moved to Jacksonville, Arkansas, where Gloria became a cheerleader.
- Gloria’s positive attitude made her a natural cheerleader. Her high school mascot was the Red Devils (even today). Being raised in a church that didn’t stress much about the Word of God, she cheered with enthusiasm for the Red Devils. The devil’s head was on all of her uniforms, sweaters, and jackets and she never gave it a second thought!
- She & her husband Kenneth got married in 1963.
- Gloria’s husband Kenneth was raised in West Texas near a United States Army Air Forces base, which inspired him to become a pilot before he became a televangelist.
- Before converting to Christianity in 1962, Kenneth was a recording artist signed with Imperial Records Label and had one ‘Billboard Top 40’ hit (titled ‘The Pledge of Love’) which made it into the ‘Top 40 Chart’ and stayed there for fifteen weeks.
- The couple are the parents of their children – John Copeland and Kellie Copeland Swisher. Both John and Kellie work with Kenneth Copeland Ministries.

- In 1967, Gloria and husband Kenneth co-founded Kenneth Copeland Ministries in Fort Worth Texas.
- Over 50 years later, Gloria uses platforms such as TV broadcasts, magazine articles, conferences, conventions, magazine articles, and other video and audio resources to preach the message of God.
- Some of Gloria’s best-known authored books are the likes of ‘From Faith to Faith: a Daily Guide to Victory,’ ‘To Know Him: Beyond Religion,’ ‘Hidden Treasures: Abundant Living in the Riches of Proverbs’.
More about KCM :
- It was in 1979 when Gloria started teaching ‘Healing School’ at Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) Believers’ Convention and Victory Campaigns, discussing practical applications utilized from Biblical principles on how to heal yourself as a whole person without the use of modern western medicine.
- While the headquarters of KCM might be in Brisbane, Australia, they also have seven other offices worldwide with a reach of 186 countries, preaching in 28 different languages.
- KCM holds an annual ‘Believer’s Convention’ in Fort Worth in the first week of July. The Copelands stream this event live on their website and is also shown on popular Christian television stations such as ‘God TV’ and ‘Daystar Television Network.’ The Monday through Friday television broadcasts usually feature a Copeland member coupled with a minister, discussing subjects from the Holy Bible.
- KCM has a 33-acre property valued at five and a half thousand dollars; the land includes the Eagle Mountain International Church, Kenneth Copeland Airport, TV and radio production facilities, distribution and warehouse facilities, and also the residence for the Copeland family.
- Like numerous other televangelist ministry owners, the Copelands have been subject to criticism from their peers and members of the public for owning multiple private jets worth millions.
- The Copelands defended themselves by saying flying commercial planes was like ‘entering a long tube with a bunch of demons.’
Interesting Facts and Trivia :
- On their first-ever date, Kenneth asked Gloria to marry him. Without hesitance, she said yes!
