Shekinah Glory

What Shekinah Glory does

Shekinah Glory Ministries is a Christian nonprofit ministry founded in 1978 by Cindy Duvall, Ray Taucher, and Lois Taucher, headquartered in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. The organization preaches, teaches, and ministers the redemptive message of Jesus Christ through worship services, biblical teaching, and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit, and operates as a faith-based content and event ministry rather than a traditional commercial enterprise. Its core products are a media catalog of original music albums (6+ CDs, 9+ MP3 albums including a French-language release), audio teaching series (19 CDs, 26 MP3 series), two authored books, a weekly podcast distributed via iTunes, and a video archive of meeting recordings. Underlying technology is conventional: a WordPress-based e-commerce storefront, RSS-driven podcast syndication, email-based digital delivery for MP3 downloads, and PayPal-integrated payment processing — there is no proprietary platform or AI/ML infrastructure. The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) one-time charitable donations processed via PayPal, phone, or mail, (2) tiered recurring monthly partner giving ranging from $10 to $750 per month, and (3) unit-priced sales of physical CDs, MP3 downloads, and books. The go-to-market is community- and event-driven, centered on traveling revival meetings, an annual minister's conference in Paris since 2006, church partnerships, and television/radio broadcasts in French-speaking markets, with brand-building endorsements from established Charismatic pastors (Rick Renner, Bob Yandian, Mark Hankins). Customer segments are individual donors and ministry partners (primary), French-speaking believers in Europe and Africa (primary, geographic), local churches seeking revival (primary, use-case), and pastors/church leaders attending the annual conference (secondary). The ministry reaches 21 nations with notable depth in the French-speaking world, and the three co-founders have led continuously since inception, supported by a small team of 1–10 staff and volunteers.

Broad incumbents

• Integrity Music: Established worship-music publisher and label with a deep catalog of worship albums and teaching resources; comparable as a Christian music + teaching media producer/distributor but with substantially broader artist roster and distribution footprint.
• Bethel Music: Worship-music label affiliated with Bethel Church (Redding, CA), producing worship albums and lyric-video content; comparable in the worship-music and Charismatic-adjacent media category but materially larger in streaming reach, roster, and infrastructure.
• Hillsong Music: Global worship-music label and ministry (Hillsong Church Australia); comparable as a worship-music-producing Christian ministry with album distribution, but operates at substantially larger scale and reach than Shekinah Glory.
• Daystar Television Network: Charismatic-leaning Christian TV network distributing Word-of-Faith preaching and worship content; comparable to Shekinah Glory's Charismatic broadcasting niche and broadcast-on-TBN model, though materially larger.
• TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network): Global faith broadcasting network that carries Shekinah Glory's French-language programming; comparable as a faith-based media-and-broadcasting organization, though vastly larger and operating across TV, radio, and digital rather than as a single ministry.

Direct peers

• Maranatha! Music: Long-running worship-music catalog ministry (founded 1972) producing worship albums and praise recordings; directly comparable to Shekinah Glory in scale, worship-album catalog model, and physical-CD + digital distribution approach.
• Kenneth Copeland Ministries: Word of Faith media ministry producing teaching broadcasts, music, books, and conferences; directly comparable to Shekinah Glory in theology (Charismatic/WOF), content mix (audio teaching + worship music), TV distribution (on TBN-style networks), and donor-funded recurring giving model.
• Kenneth Hagin Ministries: Rhema Bible Training Center (the founders' alma mater) and the Hagin family media ministry; closely comparable as a Word-of-Faith teaching-and-music ministry that ships CDs, books, and teachings to a global church audience through recurring partner support.

Emerging players

• Worship Together: Aggregator and resource site for worship songs and worship-leader content with download/distribution features; adjacent competitor for worship-music distribution and worship-leader audience attention in the same Charismatic/worship space as Shekinah Glory.
• Rhema Bible Training Center: Broken Arrow, OK-based Bible school from which the three Shekinah Glory founders graduated in 1980; comparable as a Word-of-Faith faith organization operating in the same Tulsa/Broken Arrow ecosystem with teaching, publishing, and global ministry outputs.
