yeah hi this is Aubrey I was just
calling to let you know congratulations
you got the job yes we’re so excited to
have you but I wanted to ask you when
can you
start okay but for real you remember
when you got that phone call you got the
job it was so exciting and whether your
first job was bagging groceries or
making coffee as a barista or perhaps
washing windows whatever it was that
first job was a stepping stone it was a
building block for what God had planned
for your future KCM is going into its
58th year of ministry and it has taken
hundreds of employees over those years
to accomplish all that God said in Mimi
and Papa’s heart to do for the kingdom
now you may think why does it take so
many people to run a Ministry well think
about it like this I have a lot of kids
so I’m always looking for a quick and
easy recipe for our busy dinners at home
and I might find something that looks
really good but then when I look look at
that recipe and there are so many
ingredients now I’ll admit there have
been times when I tried to skip a step
or two or just tried to do something
simpler or maybe I was missing an
ingredient so I compensated by using
something else also little piece of
advice olive oil and vegetable oil
they’re not the same but anyway even the
tiniest pinch of salt matters in the end
and we have 50 departments just here
locally not including our staff for our
six global mobile offices and some of
those departments include prayer and
accounting land maintenance carpentry it
events marketing and Communications and
of course Eagle Mountain International
Church and whether you’re a whiz with
numbers and computers or you have a
heart for children or you’ve dreamed of
working in television with over 20 jobs
currently available you could very well
be the missing ingredient right here at
the Revival capital of the world so
today we want to introduce you to some
of our employees who You’ been here for
20 30 and 40 years so let’s go inside
what might be your next job Britney I’m
so glad that we got to meet today I’ve
been meaning to come and talk to you in
HR and I’ve just noticed that when I’ve
been looking at kcm.org
jobs I found out that there are so many
job openings and there’s so much going
on here you know I’ve been here a long
time and I have never seen it quite like
this before how about you you’ve been
here just a short period of time that’s
right Pastor George I’ve been here
almost four years and the amount of
growth is incredible we have jobs right
now in maintenance we have jobs at our
Child Learning Center we have jobs in
our headquarters building there is so
much growth at the Revival capital of
the world and there is and I have such
an appreciation for the people that God
sends here because I mean I couldn’t do
this alone um Kenneth and Gloria
couldn’t do it alone so take me through
the list go through that with me and let
me know what we’re looking for in these
particular jobs sure so we have a job
open right now in maintenance as a
mechanic as a mechanic you’ll complete
maintenance and repair on Ministry
vehicles on heavy equipment that we have
like our bulldozers and our
[Music]
[Music]
tractor my name is Jerry bonds and uh I
started back in 1977
I think one thing that uh kind of got me
out of the starting blocks at the
beginning it was a day to day if I can
make it through
today I’ll try it again
tomorrow but uh
Kenneth uh there’s one thing we all did
every morning and still doing it to this
day is have a devotional in the
mornings and we had a devotional one
morning and
Kenneth uh did the devotional and kind
of what uh we like said got me out of
the uh starting blocks uh to going
forward in this was Kenneth told his
home
staff that uh anything you know anything
that you have to
do with this ministry and assisting me
in my calling in God’s eyes it’s as if
you did you preached the message well
that really hit me right between the
eyes oh I maybe that’s the reason I am
here is
to is to assist uh and help get this
word out
and and uh at the same time being
undercover pre preacher I guess you
could say
and uh the first job that I had was
putting together audio cassette
tape binders
sets that was one of the products that
we offered we had about 10 or 12
different audio cassette tapes uh sets
anywhere from two tapes in a set up to
12 tapes in a set there one year uh
Kenneth give away one of an audio
cassette
T of it was uh the old message uh our
covenant with God which was an extremely
popular message that year not just that
tape but that year is was all added
together a little over two me in C audio
cassette tapes during the time that I
was
there I was involved producing over 20
million of those audio set tapes when I
I come over here into the television
Department I got to talk to Kenneth
about the transfer and all and and uh I
got to tell him how many that I was uh
part of him putting together was 20
million and he just looked at me and
said Jerry can you imagine all of those
tapes were out there in your name has
your I said yeah that that’s a
I know that was a part of my uh calling
as a preacher one thing that happened to
me while in here just doing my thing one
day I had a sudden cardiac
rest and I hit the floor like a sack of
rocks
I woke up laying on the
floor
I I got up and and kind
of shook it off as being I just
fainted and
uh I kind of went back to work but I
thought maybe I to call my
wife and so I called her and she
insisted that uh we go see my
cardiologist now my
cardiologist suggested that I have a
implantable
defibrillator and a
pacemaker uh implanted in in into
me and
uh when we uh went to the uh to her
office uh she did an interr what they
call interrogation of the device it
takes it keeps a record of what your
heart does for up to six months of
L and uh
she uh went to read it and then she come
back in to where I was at and said
uh Mr bonds your uh device really worked
cuz it uh you had a sudden cardiac
arrest and and you were we would be
singing your last
song but you’re here with
us well that
uh really really shook me
up knowing that you can be gone like
that and
uh
for a few
days uh Satan Bea me over the head with
it I mean it was thrown in my face all
the time
constantly am I going to be able to take
another step you know stuff like
that and
uh so I uh I come to work one morning
back to this room at that time I uh I
felt the spirit of
God say look around behind you at your
30-year award he said look at the
scripture that you wanted to put on it
God will preserve me and keep me me it
will bless me on this
Earth and wow and I looked up the
definition of preserve and it one of the
definitions was keep something from
dying and at that moment I felt a big
relief I started saying the Lord will
preserve me and keep me alive every time
that was that Satan would throw that in
my face the Lord will preserve me and
keep me alive and I want the partners to
know that that’s one way that they
affect the staff I’m sure each staff
member here has a personal
story the way that this word that
Kenneth is preaching the uncompromised
word of God is something you can stand
on that it’s true truth and it can
affect your
life well Britney I was looking at
kcm.org jobs and I was noticing
something on there we’ve got so much
property here and beautiful property and
we’ve got people that take good care of
the property the grass and all of the
flowers and everything and and so there
was an opening for an individual tell me
about that opening sure our land
maintenance team is what keeps these
grounds looking beautiful absolutely oh
yeah and being a part of land
maintenance team you would be
responsible for mowing mowing tree
trimming tree trimming planting flowers
and watering the proper
[Music]
[Music]
my name is Jay West and I’ve been here
for 36
years and I’m happily married I have
four children and before I came here I
was over at uh before and after school
daycare I worked in landscape and then I
worked in the shipping and receiving
department I actually started in uh
1984 there was probably about a I’d say
about 170 employees and we were in two
different locations one of them was off
of or close to downtown Fort Worth and
the other one was here on the property
these 1500 acres and it was it was just
the music department it was the
landscape and it was the um DC
Department the shipping and receiving
when I moved from the Transportation in
I
remember Jerry bonds calling me into his
office and he would say hey Jay There’s
an opportunity here you you might want
to look at
um they’re forming a department from
administrative
services and they need another person
and so I recommended you and so I went
on and interviewed and went through the
process of change and and man it was
like I don’t know I feel like I went up
a notch on serving you know I feel like
I just learned more about there’s so
much to be done and I’ve become I became
more Mobile in the
ministry that was a big change for me
because to come from a concealed area
and shipping and receiving and then go
into going all over the property and
moving things and after that the other
offices has moved here now but to um to
be able to move around more did
something for me I keep thinking about
how exciting it is to take something to
someone or to deliver something to
someone and and uh they get excited
about it it just makes me excited and so
I I uh really got a lot out of
delivering and serving and and and
taking things to someone that they’re
expecting and looking for and they got
it I’m excited about how just the small
thing that we do in delivering and
serving that we get an opportunity to
hand off The Paton to people and what
they have to do and we know it leaves us
and it’s going to go and bless and and
Minister and
cause joy and happiness in other people
I would want the partners to know I’m
thankful first of all for their faithful
giving and their faithful support and
their prayers and everything but as they
sow and they give and they are um doing
what they do for us that we’re good
Grand ground we are good ground and when
they sew into us they’re about their
father’s business and when they’re about
their father’s business their father has
taken care of them and so they can
expect a miracle and and change and
happiness and joy in their own lives and
their families and their
jobs God is at work in their life as
they just sew into us and I’m thankful
for that I believe it’s increased my
life because I’ve been very observant of
how this Kenneth and Gloria their
example of
giving I have learned so much about how
to give and I’m telling you that brings
me so much joy to give I’ve seen it in
them they love to give you know I’ve
seen Kenneth and Gloria they’ll offer
things on the broadcast and they’ll just
you know they’ll they’ll say it’s free
and we’ll ship it to you and I mean
those kind of things speak volumes of
giving and so it’s like I can do that I
want to do that and I’ve done that and
it has brought increase in my life
because I understand what it means to
give and SE and Seed man you just have
to trust God to give you the seed well
he Kenneth and Gloria trust God they
give the seed they seow that seed and
God keeps giving them seed and I’m
telling you I keep seeing seed in my
life and I’ll keep increasing and I’m
just excited about what God’s doing in
my life and in my
family I’m just I’m increasing I am so
increasing all over everywhere
Britney tell me I was looking at kcm.org
jobs and I noticed that there was
something to do with children I love
children I love being around children
what’s going on there right we have our
Child Learning Center where all of our
kiddos here on campus go and we have the
jobs posted on kcm.org jobs and you can
read all of the the duties there for
those jobs so like tell me about what’s
the job entail what what are they going
to be doing sure so the teachers are the
ones that provide that social emotional
and learning growth for our students
you’ll be teaching social skills
alongside an age-based
academic that’s
[Music]
high
[Music]
woo
yay so what are core values core values
are what we hold most dear they are an
internal Compass guiding all of our
decisions and our actions and everything
is filtered through our values or our
beliefs our core values are Central to
how we conduct Our Lives guiding our
thoughts our motives and our actions why
because we believe them Kenne copela
Ministries has seven core values so Mom
why don’t you kick us off with the first
one I’d be delighted number one and
foremost is we put the word of God first
place in our lives and we make it final
Authority we keep it promised minent the
word of God is wisdom and always is our
answer number two we live by faith
everything in God Is by faith brother
Copeland has said if I can’t get it by
faith I won’t have it thus our ministry
is debt free number three we walk in
love Faith Works by love so love must be
the greatest motivation for our lives
and for all the things we do in this
ministry and number four we’re led by
the Holy Spirit God and His word are one
God and His Spirit are one and because
God is love he doesn’t hold anything
back from us the holy spirit is
qualified to lead us but it’s up to us
to develop being led number five we pray
about everything prayer is how we
contact God so prayer is how we are
guaranteed to have success effective
prayer will always always be based on
the word of God by faith in love and
it’s the foundation for every successful
Christian Endeavor and number six we
protect the anointing what does it mean
to protect the anointing the anointing
is the power of God on flesh doing what
God can do and we have the anointing of
the Holy Spirit on the inside of us
there is an anointing to do all that God
has called you to do but you have to
value value it and protect it number
seven we honor God although honoring God
is last on our list it’s honor that
drives us to do all the others the goal
in this is not only to have an honor for
God but to become a person of honor and
integrity how do we show honor Jesus
summed it up this way in John 14:15 if
you love me you’ll keep my Commandments
we honor God by obeying him
by doing the number one through six
Keeps Us in line with honoring God so
these are the seven core values of
Kenneth Copa Ministries and we’re
sharing them with you today so you can
take them as your own core values if a
Christian will live by these values they
will be empowered to be successful in
their walk with God and as a staff we
strive to live by these values day in
and day out because it’s important to us
to honor God and honor our partners I
was looking at kcm.org
jobs and I noticed that there was an
opening in the church now the church is
pretty amazing every Sunday every
Wednesday and then all kinds of meetings
in between what an amazing Church Eagle
Mountain International Church is and now
this particular position I think it was
for a receptionist yes so tell me about
the receptionist position sure we have
lots of positions open at kcm.org jobs
and in the receptionist position you’d
be responsible for taking incoming phone
calls greeting
guests Terry seel Foy our cheerleader of
Dreams has smartly said that comparison
is the death of progress there’s no
benefit in comparing ourselves to others
but it’s this TR that we can easily fall
into can you imagine running a Sprint
race while constantly looking sideways
Not only would you strain your neck but
you’d also slow down and risk veering
off course possibly colliding with
others it would be chaotic constantly
measuring your journey against someone
else’s will not only hinder your
progress and eventually sabotage the
unique path that’s meant for you your
vision will falter if you are too
focused on what other are doing
especially if you’ve given into that lie
that what they are doing is better what
they are doing is smarter or more
effective than what God has called for
you to do yes we should strive to
improve but not for the sole purpose of
trying to live up to the progress of
someone else so what’s the answer
compare not stay laser focused on
running your race embrace your vision
and your call Britney I was looking
online at kcm.org
jobs and I noticed that with the all of
the staff that we have here we need to
have the dining facilities we need to
have a kitchen because with all the
people that we have on property it’s a
lot easier for people to eat right here
they don’t have to go away for lunch and
we have uh places for them to eat so I
noticed that when I looked at kcm.org
jobs there was an opening for a cook or
a chef or something like that tell me
about that that’s right there was an
opening for a cook position so in that
role you’d be preparing daily breakfast
and lunch meals preparing meals for our
CLC kids and helping with catering
events around the
ministry just had the rich
[Music]
tracker I was thinking about this we
have so many facilities on the property
we’ve got buildings all over the place
space that need to be kept clean that
need to be kept in order and I was
looking at kcm.org jobs and I noticed
that we have an opening for a
housekeeper tell me a little bit more
about the housekeeping position sure our
housekeeping team is the keeper of these
houses and they operate in a spirit of
Excellence here at the Revival capital
of the world and as a housekeeper you’d
be responsible for cleaning the restroom
sweeping and mopping the floors dusting
[Music]
I am so thankful for housekeeping me too
Pastor George I can’t tell you how
thankful I am for housekeeping but you
know we were talking about all of the
people that work here and how grateful
we are for the gifts and the talents and
the abilities and how grateful we are
for you in HR to be able to locate these
people bring them in let them know out
on kcm.org jobs exactly what is
available here and I know you have that
same appreciation because you see all of
these people up close and personal
absolutely Pastor George I have the
opportunity to connect with people
interested in working at KCM which you
can see our open jobs at kcm.org
jobs and connecting with our new hires I
get have the honor of doing orientation
and getting to hear the stories of our
staff coming from all over the country
the wonderful thing about our staff too
is that they pray that’s right they have
the vision of what Kenneth and Gloria
Copeland are called to do but they also
pray and I was thinking about our
housekeepers when they are cleaning up
they’re praying they’re praying over
these desks and they’re praying over the
staff and they’re here alone sometimes
at night praying in the Holy Spirit I’ve
talked to them visited with them about
that and that’s the whole attitude of
our staff do you see that with our staff
absolutely Pastor George you know my
office is right next to the prayer
minister so I get to hear it firsthand
every sing single day you do don’t you I
do I love it the spirit of prayer is
here in K ministry that’s right well
Britney thank you so much thanks for
taking the time and meeting with me
today
absolutely I hope you enjoyed seeing a
few of the different departments we have
here at Kenneth Copa Ministries and of
course meeting some of the people and
while we had some fun showing you some
of the jobs that might not be available
right now there are always plenty of
opportunities here at KCM and as you
watch today perhaps a sense of
excitement was ignited in you that may
be a prompting of what if I’m supposed
to apply however the Holy Spirit might
be leading you it’s at least worth a
small amount of research right and we
have plenty of ministry opportunities
here at KCM so I’d encourage you go to
kcm.org jobs to see what all we do have
available we are so grateful for our
long-term employees they have been so
faithful and a huge blessing to this
ministry but of course we have so much
gratitude in our hearts for all of our
