Wiki Bio / Profile Background
Introduction :
Gloria Copeland (maiden name Gloria Neece) is a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, published author, and Vice President of Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM).
Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :
- Gloria was born on February 12, 1942, and was raised in Center Point, an Arkansas town that hasn’t changed much, except that it has gotten smaller over the decades..
- 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.
Career, Books, Earnings and Net Worth :
- 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!
- In honor of her achievements and constant need to ‘give to others’ in the Christian community, Gloria was awarded the ‘Christian Woman of the Year’ award by the Christian Woman of the Year Association in 1994.
- Gloria used to be a pilot back in the 70s. Her examiner gave Gloria an “Excellent” rating and granted her a private pilot license on the day of the check ride.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Gloria Copeland still alive? : Yes, she is still living despite facing health issues from time to time.
- Why is Gloria Copeland not on TV anymore? : In light of Gloria’s health issues, Kenneth Copeland announced she would not be attending their live TV sermons.
- Kenneth / Gloria Copeland Health Issues / Stroke : In a car accident more than 50 years ago, Gloria sustained a traumatic brain injury. In addition, Kenneth revealed that he too uses a pacemaker for irregular heartbeats. There is an apparent conflict between these confessions and the faith of the Copelands.

To whom much is given, much is required!!!
Love the Copeland teaching
How are you Ms. Gloria? We need to work with you in Zambia!
I love the Copelands. They were my mentors in walking in the Word of God back in the late 70’s and early 80’s when I first became filled with the Spirit. I grew up in a Baptist church that didn’t believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I am still stirred in my faith every time I hear them teach and I listen to them almost every day on the Victory Channel. I believe it would be safe to say, they have preached “living in faith and standing on the Word of God” more than any other minister during the life time of their ministry. They have been great and faithful stewards of God’s anointing. They have brought millions to Christ and taught millions how to stand in Faith. I have no doubt they will enter the Gates of Heaven at their appointed time and hear “WELL DONE THY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT”. With their anointing, they have surely weathered many attacks from the devil and WON their battle. You do not get to where they are by laying down during a battle. Regardless of Gloria’s current health condition, she has taught more people how to stand on God’s Word for healing than any other woman of God. She has stood true to the anointing and mission that God gave her. Prayers for both Kenneth and Gloria.
Absolutely true!! I couldn’t have articulated it better than you did. I also grew up Baptist. PTL for the Copelands and all their ministry partners! No body teaches on faith like they do!
I agree. I miss Gloria. She was my mentor since the 70s. I love her dearly.
Does Gloria not have enough faith for her own healing? Very hypocritical considering her name it and claim it preaching for decades? Pride goes before the fall…
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
EVERYONE is ‘name it and claim it’! If you name diabetes or MS or heart disease or lack, etc., you are naming it and it will remain manifest in your life until you change your confession and your beliefs by renewing your mind with the Word’. You have what you say. Your today is a result of your words yesterday/in the past. God is faithful and His Word is truth, life and light. When Jesus suffered and died on the cross both our salvation AND HEALING were made ours at the same time! Gloria is going through a medical battle right now but SHE WILL come through healed and whole with a great testimony. Note: God said not to speak against His anointed ones, so you should repent and allow God to change your heart with His love.
I love the Copelands. Their ministry has impacted my life positively. May the Healing stream flow over Gloria from her head to toe and restore her health fully, in Jesu’s name!

God has a purpose in what is going on in Gloria’s life let go and let God! God is in control!
The devil is a bald-faced liar let the truth be known he is scared of Gloria so he’s trying to shut her down, Not so devil. By Jesus’s stripes, Gloria is not getting healed she is healed to God be the glory.
Amen, I am in agreement with you. Every tongue that rises up against this truth I condemn them now, in Jesus’ name!!!
Did Gloria Neece Copeland pass away??? She is missed by many people. We all love her.
No, just not on TV, I was making sure myself. He said age and her health issues, so she would not be on live tv anymore. Pls keep her in your prayers for complete healing and wholeness in Jesus name. She is my Spiritual Mama!!!
A person can pray and have faith that they will be healed. When my mother died I was mad at God, I was only 15 and needed my mom with me. She died of cancer in 1980 after a 3-year battle. She was in pain but still held on to her faith that if it was God’s will she would be healed. Fast forward, as I got older I realized God did answer our prayers. I didn’t understand as a child, but in the end, I understood that God did answer our prayers. He gave her the ultimate healing, he took her home to be with him. She now has a brand-new body and is free from pain.
I realized too that sometimes, our time is up. It’s just our time to go home. Father gives us an amount of time to accomplish what we were here to do.
I knew something was wrong when we stopped seeing Gloria. I will continue to pray for her recovery continually. I love the Copelands! I met Gloria in 1973 and we walked to our cars with our kids and talked. She is a down-to-earth woman of faith. The devil is a liar and Gloria is healed in the name of Jesus. God will restore her health that the locusts have stolen.
Miss Gloria is such a Great Teacher and an Awesome Woman of Faith.
I am absolutely Positive that she has touched so many lives in the Ministry God called her to. I am looking forward to a great comeback, but whether her Mission is fulfilled or God has A Greater work for her…we All Witness An Assignment Well Done!!! Sister Copeland…may the Good Lord continue to Smile on you with love!!!
How is it OK that the Copeland’s have $760 million and still take salaries from their partners? Does that seem right? I like their preaching, but I’m having a hard time coming to terms with this. They could help so many children in need…I know they give a lot but do you think Jesus is OK with that? They aren’t answerable financially to their partners at all. I struggle with that.
When you have accomplished half of what these two people have done for the kingdom of God here on earth, then say what you will. They are preaching the commission Jesus commanded His church to do, which the so-called “church” has disobeyed by and large ever since the armies of Satan invaded the urn to water down the gospel to dilute the power of Jesus’s commission to cast out the devil. And then there are the envious “critics”. Ring a bell?
Researching HOW MANY THEY HAVE BROUGHT INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD……
HOW MANY HAVE YOU YOURSELF REACHED?
Don’t STRUGGLE with “THAT”…Busy YOURSELF for and within the KINGDOM OF GOD and you will find yourself wayyyyy tooooo busy to
STRUGGLE WITH OTHERS SUCCESS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD!!!
We dont know if that money wasn’t a blessing from God. And I have watched them since I was a teen. I have never in any way seen God punishing them for anything they did. He produced a bible once and in the back there was a chapter on Ethics in Ministry, I have never seen that by anybody. Bible says pride comes before the fall. I have never seen anything come against them prosper and have not seen God break them down either.
I also received the special December 2021 partner letter asking me to pray for Gloria’s healing. Gloria has, indeed, been on the weekly Believer’s Voice of Victory at the beginning of 2022. Sometimes it was with Kenneth alone, and at other times, it was with Kenneth and her daughter Kellie. I’ve been following Copeland’s ministry since elementary school, so that’s about 54 years. This year, she did not talk as much as usual in the conversations, but knowing Kenneth, he put her out there by faith because (I believe) she has most likely improved much more than the prior year. People who teach healing are not immune from attacks. Creflo dollar had an aggressive form of incurable cancer, and he had to use the Word day and night in order for his healing to manifest, and it did. I believe the same is happening with Gloria, and I SURE believe that Kenneth and his entire family are confessing the Word (healing scriptures) over Gloria day and night.
It’s my opinion that putting her on some of the early 2022 broadcasts is part of his ‘acting’ on his faith. If he’s believing that she is healed, he’s going to ACT on it by putting her on the program to participate.
I believe this is a very challenging time for Kenneth because even though he is one of the strongest preachers and examples of faith that I’ve experienced, he’s human and I’m sure because this has happened to the absolute love of his life, he has to work very hard to not succumb to emotions and keep standing on the Word despite what he’s seeing. This is why he has asked us to agree with him in prayer for her since there is strength in numbers (Deuteronomy 32:30).
I believe Gloria will come out of this with a stronger testimony and will then be able to teach on healing as never before from her own experience. Let’s just keep believing in Kenneth for the full manifestation of Gloria’s healing.
Gwen, your letter heartens me. I’m so tired of the attacks on the Copelands. Glad to see there ARE others who know the Truth of what the Copelands have taught.
Speaking the Word out loud changes the atmosphere around us. God’s Word does not return void. It takes time for the words we speak to penetrate the evil of this world. Living in faith means we APPLY the Word of God thru our actions of speaking, believing, and doing.
There is no contradiction between living in this world and dealing with its problems and believing the Word for what it says we have and can do.
Total belief doesn’t mean things don’t happen. It means we stand steadfast IN the Truth of the Word, even though in OUR world, things look differently. No one is
I meant to say Let’s just keep believing GOD (not Kenneth) for Gloria’s healing.
Amen, well said sister! I couldn’t have said I any better. I am in prayer with the Copeland family too.
Yes and amen!!!
I love Gloria…I have so many of her books and teachings, She is a woman after God’s own heart.
The Copelands have another daughter, Teri Copeland Pearson.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Sister Gloria! I too have been wondering why we haven’t seen her in quite some time. I don’t believe I’ve seen her once this year
Hello brothers and sisters in Christ,
I am very concerned about sister Gloria! I have been a partner in their ministry for 45 years. I have not seen sister Gloria all year this year and I would love to know how she is doing and what she is doing. It is concerning that we are not seeing her and not being told if anything is wrong.
Thank you in advance for your response. Sending love and prayers!
Jean Rowlett.
I found something where he said with her age and health issues, she would not be on live tv tapings anymore. She is alive, please keep her in your prayers.
We all better find the truth quickly. An exclusive member letter asks for prayer for a head injury that was never healed. He is not clear on details, claims she had not been teaching, has dementia was never healed since 1966. I will keep a copy of the letter on yellow paper. I knew she could possibly be dead.
Gloria is not dead, I found something where he said, as a result of age and health issues, she would not be of live tv tapings anymore. Google has a search about her and Alzheimers. I did not look at it. I believed she is healed, in Jesus’s name. And confess healing over her daily, please keep her in yr prayers. She is my Spiritual Mom, so I had to search till I found something!!!
Why wasn’t Gloria Copeland at the August 2 Southwest Believers Convention?? Is she okay?? Missed her being there
She is a gift from God
Gloria is a gifted preacher and easily out preaches her husband.
Good Evening,
I enjoy Miss Gloria’s teachings. She is always on point and it lines up with God’s Word. I am so blessed to enjoy her on Believers Voice of Victory. She is always right when she says Jesus is Lord!
Thank you Miss Gloria for being a steward in the Word and for obeying Him at all costs.
Thank you for having a tremendous impact on my life. You are a virtuous woman of God and that is a gift in and of itself.
Love,
Tab Battle
