IHOPKC is based in Kansas City, Missouri.

The annual Onething conference has been hosted by IHOPKC since 2002 in the Kansas City Convention Center. Mike Bickle has previously been involved in what was called by others as "the Kansas City prophets movement," and which was criticized by Ernie Gruen in a well-known controversy after which John Wimber, the leader of the Vineyard Church extended oversight to Mike Bickle and his church (Kansas City Fellowship) which then jointed the AVC and changed its name to Metro Vineyard Fellowsip. Two men who were said to be a part of the "Kansas City Prophets," Bob Jones and Paul Cain, left the ministry due to professional and sexual scandal.〔http://www.banner.org.uk/kcp/Abberent%20Practises.pdf〕 ==Overview== The International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOPKC) was founded by Mike Bickle.
