Kenneth Copeland Ministries is one of the most prosperous Christian organizations in America. It was founded by its namesake, Kenneth Copeland, in the 1970s after being converted to Christianity. He was a former recording artist turned into a Christian author and evangelist. His TV show Believer's Voice in Victory is available to many television channels worldwide. He is the author of many different charismatic-oriented books and has international offices in several countries around the world.

The ministry is criticized by many non-believers, former members, government offices and the Christian community in the midst of its financial and membership success. In 2007, Kenneth Copeland Ministries had been put under investigation as complaints from the public and the media arose concerning the wealth of the couple Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. The Senate committee aimed to find out whether the couple had made personal profits from the donations of their members by overcompensating themselves. The committee suspected that because of the immense wealth of the family, they might be hiding personal businesses under the church's name since it is not being taxed by the IRS.

One of the teachings of Kenneth Copeland, through the Word of Faith movement is the promise of financial prosperity of the members if they give generously. Several verses from the Bible are quoted as support for this teaching. By giving, the members are blessed a hundredfold. This has gained the ministry financial success as donations from different members poured in and has now afforded jets and a private airport.

Another teaching to be welcomed with a lot of bitter disappointments was the promise of excellent physical health of the believers. As an advocate of faith healing, Copeland preaches that members can achieve healing from their sickness and optimum health through their Word of Faith. This time he quoted from the book of Isaiah in the Bible that members only need to accept the gift of healing without any traces of doubt and they should be healed. Because a lot of the members did not achieve what they expected, many of them were disappointed and became angry.

From the Christian community, critics particularly attack the Kenneth Copeland Ministries' teachings about Jesus not being a God but humans being one. On the first claim, Copeland says that Jesus did not claim to be a God when he was here on Earth. Instead, he only claimed to have walked closely with God and that was it. However, another one of his teachings is that we are god in ourselves since it was God that created us. A lot of the critics of the ministry consider this doctrine misleading, even heretical. Another teaching that is considered by many Christian critics a heresy is the doctrine that Jesus' physical death was not enough to have saved the people from sin. Rather, it was the spiritual death that redeemed men, wherein he, in a sense, became the worst sinner who was united with Satan when he claimed all sins as his. According to the critics, the traditional belief that the death of Jesus was for God to be at peace with men was distorted by Copeland to mean that Jesus' death was for Satan as a ransom for the life of men.
