Kenneth Copeland Ministries Celebrates the 46th Annual Southwest Believers' Convention in Fort Worth

Kenneth Copeland Ministries Hosts the 46th Southwest Believers' Convention

The highly anticipated Southwest Believers' Convention (SWBC) is set to return to the Fort Worth Convention Center for its 46th year from July 27 to August 1, 2026. Organized by Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM), this six-day event features an impressive lineup of more than 20 faith teachers and worship leaders from around the globe, all dedicated to providing a transformative experience centered on spiritual growth and community.

Overview of the Event

This year’s convention is themed "The Homecoming", which reflects a deep calling for believers to return to the foundational principles of faith. Attendees can expect general sessions filled with Word-based teachings, Spirit-led worship, and opportunities for corporate prayer. The highlight of the convention will be a Healing School service led by Kenneth Copeland himself, marking the culmination of an uplifting week focused on revival and renewal in the community of faith.

Admission is entirely free, and participants can easily reserve seats via online registration at southwestbelieversconvention.com. This inclusive nature has made SWBC one of the longest-running faith-based gatherings in the U.S., uniting individuals from various backgrounds and beliefs.

A Legacy of Faith

Kenneth Copeland has been at the heart of this convention since it began in 1971, tirelessly serving as its founder and lead minister. Over the past decades, the SWBC has attracted thousands of participants annually, offering six full days of immersive teachings, which few other events match in scope and depth. The mission remains simple yet profound: to gather like-minded believers for a powerful encounter with God that can significantly transform their lives.

The convention caters to families too, with dedicated programs for children and teens. Young attendees aged 6 to 11 can participate in “Superkid Academy”, where engaging services teach them how to apply faith to everyday situations. Adolescents aged 12 to 17 are welcomed into the “14Forty” youth ministry, which emphasizes dynamic preaching and worship. This family-friendly approach ensures that faith can be nurtured across all age groups.

Last Year’s Impact

Last year's conference, the 45th edition, was a monumental success, drawing nearly 18,000 registrants from all 50 states and 54 countries, including 871 pastors from around the world. Attendees reported over 800 salvations and 95 water baptisms—a testament to the spiritual impact the event continues to have. Moreover, the convention showcases the musical grandeur with performances, including a concert finale by the GRAMMY-winning Gaither Vocal Band.

The economic implications for Fort Worth are substantial as well; the previous SWBC generated an estimated $8.8 million impact on the local economy, supporting nearly 1,100 jobs in the hospitality sector.

Community Engagement and Outreach

In addition to the convention, KCM collaborates with Eagle Mountain International Church, hosting services before and after the event for those wishing to extend their spiritual pilgrimage. Live broadcasts of the convention and additional programming are available through Victory Channel, ensuring that those unable to attend in person can still partake in the sessions.

KCM extends its reach to 159 nations via various media channels, making their resources accessible to millions, including annual distributions of the Believer's Voice of Victory magazine to over 400,000 subscribers worldwide.

Conclusion

The Southwest Believers' Convention stands as a beacon of faith, hope, and community every summer. It invites believers to embrace their faith's foundations while experiencing a shared journey of worship and teaching. With free admission and an enriching program, it promises to be an unforgettable experience for all who attend, reinforcing the unity among believers that Kenneth Copeland Ministries has fostered for nearly half a century.
