The Controversy
Churches are tax exempt and are non-profit organizations. Churches are not required to disclose details of their finances. Copeland's 500-employee ministry is listed as a church for tax purposes.WashingtonPost.com: Ap Impact: Relatives of Televangelist Prosper (July 27, 2008) While his salary has not been made public, the church disclosed that his wife earned $292,593 in 1995.WashingtonPost.com: Ap Impact: Relatives of Televangelist Prosper (July 27, 2008) In the same year, Copeland earned $364, 557. An additional 13 relatives were on the churches payroll that year.WashingtonPost.com: Ap Impact: Relatives of Televangelist Prosper (July 27, 2008)Church's Questionable Assets
Copeland has allegedly prospered from the donations of his parishioners. In sermons, he and his wife have promised that by giving (sowing) a $100 dollar donation to the ministry, the money will be returned a hundredfold to the giver.Here are some of the assets of the Copeland Ministry, as reported by a CBS News investigation: An 18,000 square foot lake-front home in Texas worth $6 million, a fleet of planes and a $20 million jet with a private runway strip.CBS News: Hard Questions For "Prosperity Gospel", A Televangelist Lives...
