Where is kip mckean now




















Kip McKean and his family currently reside in a 2, square foot, 3 bedroom, 3 bath condominium located on the cliffs of Pacific Palisades, two blocks from the ocean. But it should be noted that any "rent" Mr. McKean the "Evangelist" for the Los Angeles church pays comes from his housing allowance that he and all other full time leaders receive.

Any money for such a housing allowance would thus come from the donations received from ICC members. Before moving to Pacific Palisades, the McKeans lived in Manhattan Beach , which is yet another very expensive area--Mike Piazza once lived there when he played for the Dodgers. Eric Karros, another highly paid professional ball player for the Dodgers first basemen , also once made his home there.

In fact, Manhattan Beach was a favorite place for many celebrity athletes--such as the Raiders when they were located in Los Angeles. To be more precise and nerdy , the current age as of right now is days or even more geeky hours. That's a lot of hours! Is there a Kip McKean action figure? We would think so.

Frankly, I wouldn't want to be Kip Mckeen. Their SIN has caused many to "fall away" and turn from the truth. For that, God will not tolerate. I pray for those who like myself and my family have been unjustly harmed by these men. I pray that they will find the peace, love and kindness of our Lord and heavenly Father. God expects it. We can, however, also trust that God will act swiftly and justly. This organisations leaders are still at logger heads with each other even 21 years after I left this organisation.

This seriously shows a bad example to those that are interested in joining your church. Even when I was with this organisation in May until February the leaders where arguing amongst themselves then and even pushed everyone out of the church and told them that if they believe in God they must do everything necessary to prove there faith to be able to be accepted back into the church and many just left through frustration.

My dad saved me from this church in Manchester when I left the Manchester Church or Christ after being transferred from the London Church of Christ so I could be in my home city. Look what there glorious leader Kip McKean done he purchased a condo with the churches money when he fell away. It was all over the internet. I believe in God, not Kip Mckean and not any church, the reason why I don't believe in churches is because the majority of churches nowadays are corrupt.

God's word is enough for me to believe in him through the teachings of his son Jesus Christ. The behaviour in your church resembles the behaviour of politians and ways of the world and not the behaviour of people that believe in God. It is clear from Matthew 24 that the world is in the time of child bearing and the signs are all around us.

Earthquakes, famines, wars and rumours of wars and it also mentions about false prophets and messiahs but these things are meant to happen and you should not be alarmed. Your church seems very alarmed about Kip Mckean?

The scriptures mention this is meant to happen and not to be alarmed about it. Yet you finger point and name call. Forgive Kip Mckean in your prayers. Lay the issue to rest and move on. Bear good fruit and prepare the way for the second coming of Christ and make straight paths for him.

Cast aside those who don't want to listen and carry on offering Gods word to those that want to listen to the teachings of those that have gone before us in God's name. What is happening amongst the leaders of your church is toxic to everyone who is following your example as church leaders.

Pray to God for forgiveness as well for your wrong doings so you maybe forgiven. Bear good fruits and bring those that believe in God to God through his son Jesus Christ so that on judgement day we may reside with God, Jesus his only Son and the angels in heaven.

Remain faithful to Gods word Pray for forgiveness Pray for others who sin against us I am sorry for the rebuke. You are a hypocrite and please crawl back into the cesspool you emerged from to make that comment. The Icc is finished I am a former member from before Kips fall in power.

I remember going to the Boston seminars. The church ruined my life. At that time they did not allow friendships outside the church and they kept you from your own family. They made you dependent on them. This dependency made you afraid to leave. They manipulated and controlled every aspect of my life including where I could and could not live. I no longer had a life or a will of my own. There was no love. It was all about power and control. I have not been able to step foot in a church since I left in for I lost faith in all organized religion.

I too am a former member. I attended the church in NYC in the early 90s. At the time of my involvement I felt pressured but happy. I had doubts and questions but never considered that those doubts would get me kicked out of the church. We had a "heart to heart" and was told not to return until I got myself together my paraphrase. I was also lead to believe throughout my time there that if I was not a part of "this church" I was not saved.

Of course I could write a book on all of the things that were wrong, that I did not see until I was out, but it would serve no purpose. Instead I want to focus on the wonderful lessons I learned. I learned to lean on God and not man and that my relationship with Him was not over because I no longer attended their church.

I learned the importance of reading the bible for myself and not letting anyone intrepret what it means for me and my life. I learned what a healthy church and leadership looks like because I experienced that not so healthy atmosphere. I learned the importance of sharing my testimony with others to help them in their time of need the way God has helped me.

I also learned how to be tolerant and less judgemental with others because it was there that I truly learned we are all sinners, in the need of God's grace. It took me many years to comes to grips with that situation but I look at it as a learning experience; it helped to shape me into the person I am today.

I pray that you will find peace in and healing from your experiences one day soon. Hi there, I am truly sorry to hear about that. Please remember that it was people who hurt you.

God is probably weeping over what has been done to you. Please know that God will always go after the Sheep that has been lost and hurt in the wilderness. God does not want Cookie Cutter Christians but people who study for themselves whether what people tell them is true or not. Even if you only take Baby steps in the direction of seeking him with all your heart, reading the Gospels he will come running towards you. Do not let people ruin that for you. God takes this very seriously.

David himself showed a respect toward Saul, even though Saul was corrupt. This was because David understood the sovereignty of God. When we talk bad about God's leaders whether factually accurate or not, we are calling God's judgment and decisions into question. We see examples of the outcome of this in the Scriptures. This was in the context of talking about people who criticize the ICC leadership.

Consider Jeremiah at the city gates or Jesus in the temple. God is absolutely Sovereign and all believers are ambassadors of the truth. Remember Jesus flipped tables and made a whip. Jeremiah preached at the city gates and phineas picked up a spear. Even as they are coercing money from the members and refusing to repent of such abusive behavior; their arrogance is astounding. God has also disciplined you.

As you have often said, God works his will through people. Disciples have made Jesus Lord and Savior, and have learned to speak the truth in love to confront sin out of concern for souls and for the body of Christ. After numerous personal conversations, discipleship groups, prayers and pleadings confronting you with the leadership sins in your life over a number of years, you resigned as the Lead Evangelist of the Los Angeles Church of Christ in November After more pleading and prayers, you resigned as Missions Evangelist and recognized leader for the International Churches of Christ in November We wept at your confession and were eagerly looking forward to your repentance.

Recently, because of your unrepentant heart and actions, several churches have publicly rebuked and warned you about your divisiveness. You responded by mocking these rebukes in your sermons and articles and by using your time at the ILC to recruit people to Portland and to your side.

You have already begun to start your churches in other cities, not by evangelism, but by causing factions from existing churches. How can this be a repentance of your continued sins of leadership?

Brother, we are writing this letter today because over a number of years leading up to and since your resignations, we have spoken privately and in groups with you about our concern that you have shown worldly sorrow and not godly sorrow.

Many of us have spoken with you urgently in recent weeks because, instead of true repentance producing a harvest of righteousness and peace, your lack of repentance is producing a harvest of unrighteousness, dissension, confusion and division. You have refused to listen to us individually, so we came in love as groups of brothers in accord with the principle of Matthew You have consistently said that you repented and changed and yet you have continued in the very behavior you claimed you repented of.

In fact, you have worn many of us out in our confrontation of your sins. You have rationalized your sins by pointing to your baptisms and church growth. Those are evidences of the grace of God with those new Christians.

Paul himself pointed out that people who are preaching the gospel out of envy, rivalry and selfish ambition can still help people become Christians Philippians The Scriptures are clear as to our responsibility to you and to the people of God.

It is very sad to us that though you are a hero in the faith to us in many ways, you have not matured spiritually. Many of us signing this letter have confronted you personally and in groups with your sin over a number of years. We are now bringing other brothers who have also signed this letter as witnesses of your sins. Following are sins that you have publicly and in print claimed that you repented of -- something we have all so much wanted to believe.

You confessed all of these sins in Revolution Through Restoration Part 3, pages 4—7. You have confessed them in bulletin articles and in sermons. You were confronted with your lack of repentance in a meeting with several of us at the Chicago International Leadership Conference in September of Yet you continue to consistently live in these sins. Through the private communication of this letter, we are asking you one more time to have godly sorrow and to show your repentance by your deeds.

If you do not listen and do not show godly sorrow, then you give us no choice but to take your continued sins to our family of churches around the world in the hopes that you will listen to them and repent of these sins. My sins are clear and grievous. I have been arrogant, almost always thinking I was right.

I did not listen. I did not actively seek discipling for me and my family. I was only partially open and deceit came into my life. This led to the sin of anger towards those who disagreed with me. Too often, I viewed these individuals as critical. I did not draw people out.

I built an atmosphere in which people were afraid to speak up. There were times when I corrected people that I was mean, cruel and I even humiliated them. I was too controlling. For this I apologize. I am truly sorry. Brother, we are glad you have acknowledged these sins, but we do not see change in you beyond mere surface changes to satisfy people for the moment.

We would also add that you not only allow people to give you the glory, you encourage it and reward them for it as in the most recent Portland Jubilee. Your writing, your sermons and your website consistently contain unseemly, immature and unwholesome self-promotion and propaganda. It took multiple conversations from many of us before you ever commended any church but your own. You say publicly that you have repented of lifting yourself up, yet almost every bulletin article is about you and your ministry.

Your entire view of our fellowship centers around who is with you and who is against you. This is unrighteous, unspiritual, immature and even irrational. Many of us have confronted you with the numerous ways you continue to slander and hurt the churches you helped build. You admittedly compelled them to give millions of dollars and hundreds of Bible Talk Leaders to fulfill noble dreams and then turned around and condemned those churches for not growing like your church did with their resources.

This alone was incredulous. For the last two years, you have been confronted with your continued disrespectful writings about other churches, many of whom are hurting precisely because of the results of many of the sins you confessed. Yet you continue to judge and condemn disciples and churches because they are not like your church. It is difficult to imagine how a humble and contrite leader could possibly write the condemning and disparaging words that you have written.

You have become like the father who continually exasperates his children and then condemns them for not wanting a relationship with him. It is obvious to most that you praise those who are clearly aligned with you or others whom you are trying to persuade to your position. You have praised small churches that have joined themselves with you and emphasized their few baptisms, but fail to mention the churches that have continued to be planted in the last few years or other churches who are growing and baptizing examples like the church in Nairobi, Kenya that have had baptisms in the first eight months of As well as the need for repentance and healing in many of our churches, many good news reports and a deep desire for unity were broadly acknowledged by the attendees to the ILC.

This has been your persistent behavior for as long as we have known you. Recently you were confronted with involving yourself in other churches while disrespecting the existing relationships of those churches. Two examples are the churches in Montreal, Canada and in Santiago, Chile.

We cannot believe the apostles or early church leaders lived or led in such a political, unethical way. This is sinful. You have admitted to these sins in the past. You have reaped the fruit of these sins.

Yet, when asked what your ideas are for unifying us once again and helping our churches to heal, mature and return to our mission, your answer is to go back and do what you did in the s.

You are in fact attempting to do just that. If you continue on this course, you will build some churches. And you will reap the same short-term attractive results and the same long-term painful results. You must repent and learn how to work with other leaders in true adult to adult relationships.

You are no longer a young man with lack of experience for an excuse. However, as of this Jubilee the Portland leadership believes it is time for a progressive "calling-out of the remnant of disciples" from dying, former ICOC Churches. For years, I have preached "one church-one city;" in other words, each city should have only one church of disciples, because if they are faithful to God, He will multiply them to evangelize not only their city but the whole region. Acts I still believe in this same principle.

Sadly, it has become the practice of some former ICOC churches to break-up into geographic groups or groups of various convictions about commitment to Christ, discipling and church government. If a group asks for help to restore the foundation of sold-out disciples, we will help in any way we can. Biblically, disciples can never rebel against authority, yet as seen with David who "chose" to transfer his allegiance from the ungodly Saul to the uncircumcised Achish 1 Samuel one is "free to choose" whom to submit to!

However, gradually, in the LA years, my constant short-term growth goals created pressure on the ministry staff that translated to hurtful pressure on members. When combined with a legalistic mindset, disciples were made to feel they could never measure up, too often wondering if they were fruitful or even saved. This robbed them of their joy as disciples. In seeing the need to build a model church, I wrongly compelled far too many good leaders and other disciples from numerous congregations to move to LA.

The problem was exacerbated because I did not communicate my gratitude to these other churches, and then I expected them to duplicate our efforts after taking some of their most effective soul winners. For this I am deeply sorry. From Revolution Through Restoration 3, page 7.
