OUR HISTORY

In 1997, as Cathedral Of Praise (formerly Pentecostal Tabernacle) began planning for the construction of the new 1800 seat Sanctuary and Worship Center. Bishop Maynard chose Church Builders United, a partnership of minority-owned contractors. Also, minority and women-owned businesses worked as sub-contractors on the project. Bishop Maynard further insisted that the labor force is made up of a significant number of minority workers. Thus, approximately eighty-percent of the laborers working on the construction of the facility were African-American and Latino.

We are a family-oriented congregation of the Church of God in Christ. At Cathedral of Praise C.O.G.I.C., we inspire individuals of all ages and backgrounds to bring the Lord Almighty into their lives at every moment - moments of joy, moments of despair, and even those moments in between.

We are committed to the teachings of Jesus Christ and are here to spread His message with loving patience and kindness. Contact us today and bring the Almighty’s presence into your life.

Bishop Maynard, a pioneer in ministry, utilizes new technology and the media to reach the masses. The Word Of Life Ministries daily radio broadcasts, national weekly telecast, and website are ways in which Bishop Maynard delivers his messages of “Maximizing Your Potential.”
