The Coming King FoundationA 501(c)3 Non-Profit Art Museum Established May 6, 2004
Trustees: Max Greiner, Jr. (President), Johnny Sharp (Vice President), Linda Forse (Secretary), Weldon Baker (Treasurer), Sherry Greiner, Louada Raschke, Jack Turner, Richard Reinhard, Carol Reinhard, Karl Jack,

Since TCKF was officially formed on May 6, 2004 as a non-profit (501c3) art museum, we have endeavored to build the entire garden debt free. When donations run low, we stop building. Thanks to God and all the generous gifts of thousands of Christian supporters, of all denominations, the multi-million dollar spiritual park is now open 365 days a year and is free to the public.
In 2016 over 100,000 visitors will visit the spiritual park and be presented with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, using 77 Bible verses in three languages, displayed on our 16” Scripture Tiles.
On September 15, 2015, TCKF dedicated and celebrated the com-pletion of the top of the garden Tabernacle (the Inner Court & Holy of Holies). However, the remainder of the 24.5 property still needs to be completed with roads, parking lots, lights, structures and more sculptures.
Jesus said that His children should sow good seed into good ground (Mt 13:18). The garden Tabernacle is very good ground! Thousands of people from all 50 states and at least 62 countries have already been blessed by the presence, power and peace of God on the 1,930’ spiritual hill top overlooking Kerrville, TX.
Salvations, Baptisms, healings, deliverance, miracles, signs and wonders frequently occur on this special piece of land, set aside to honor God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and Messiah, and the Holy Spirit.
Would you please pray about making a tax deductible gift before the end of this year to help us finish the entire garden for Jesus Christ? Thank you!
