COP was founded in the 1950s by Dr. Lester Sumrall.

- After nearly three decades of building and finishing the construction costs of the 8,000-seat fully air-conditioned state-of-the-art auditorium, the COP complex and congregational facilities continue to expand not only in the main campus but also in key areas of the metro. Each campus provides a spacious, comfortable and technically well-equipped sanctuary to house regular worship services and special ministry events. Aside from the Manila Campus, the COP East Campus over at the Shangri-la Mall in Mandaluyong and the South Campus located at the Bellevue Hotel in Alabang, serve members residing in those areas.

That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
