History
When it came in the Philippines, it was an Assembly of God project for several years. Then because of other higher authorities in the USA, they separated for they wanted an independent government, they wanted to hold their laws which the Assemblies of God don't have and could not hold. COP was founded in the 1950s by Dr. Lester Sumrall.
Cathedral of Praise is currently expanding. In their website, they mentioned their plan to plant 200 churches in 20 years.
- 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. In the works are the plans to build for the South Campus its own facilities and a third satellite campus in the North Quezon City area.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”

“... that there is no other way,
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.”
