KINGDOM CHURCH INTERNATIONAL

What KINGDOM CHURCH INTERNATIONAL does

Kingdom Church International (KCI) is a non-profit 501(c)(3), non-denominational, multicultural Christian church founded by Drs. John D. Coleman (Overseer) and Kisia Coleman (Pastor). It officially opened on January 8, 2006, in the South Suburbs of Chicago after the Colemans launched a weekly Bible Study on May 14, 2005, and expanded with a North Chicago location and outreach center in 2014. The mailing address is P.O. Box 596, Park Forest, IL 60466, and the organization reports 7 employees.

KCI delivers its core product through weekly worship services, Bible studies, and an ecosystem of ministry programs segmented by demographic: Children's & Youth Empowerment, Women's Empowerment (including M.O.D.E.L. and The Princess Paradigm), Men's Empowerment, Worship Arts, and Prayer Ministry (P.O.W. W.OW. daily phone intercessory prayer line). Adjacent operating programs include the Empowerment Center, I.C.E. CDC (Inner City Empowerment Community Development Center), and the VPCC (Violence Prevention Community Center) initiative with a monthly newsletter. Ancillary product revenue is generated through Pastor John's Products (trykci.org/djc) and Pastor Kisia's KishKnows (kishknows.com), which sell books, workbooks, and empowerment materials. International mission activity extends to the Philippines, Peru, Haiti, Uganda, and South Africa.

The business model is donation-driven: the church is supported by voluntary tithes and offerings from its congregation and community, supplemented by ancillary product sales and stage-play fundraising events. KCI maintains pastoral accountability through affiliation with New Light Christian Center Church and the Association of Independent Ministries (A.I.M.) of Houston, Texas, and Dr. Kisia Coleman received A.I.M. Literary Awards in 2012 and 2013. Technology is minimal — a WordPress website, email newsletter, and standard digital communication tools — with no proprietary platform, AI capabilities, or paid digital product stack disclosed.
