Cathedral of Tomorrow

Cathedral of Tomorrow

The Cathedral of Tomorrow was built in 1958 as home to Rex Humbard's ministry. The Cathedral, a round building with the sanctuary in the middle and classrooms and offices around the edges, located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, seats 5,400.

Under Rex Humbard's ministry, Cathedral services were broadcast on 600 television stations in the United States and Canada, as well as on stations in many other countries.

The influential Gospel quartet Cathedral Quartet had their origin at the Cathedral of Tomorrow.

Humbard began to build a rotating tower restaurant at his Cathedral of Tomorrow complex, which was also slated to hold a transmission tower for his planned local TV station, WCOT-TV (Channel 55; the license was later used by current day CW affiliate WBNX-TV). When Humbard was given the opportunity to go on more radio stations throughout South America to spread Christianity, construction on the upper restaurant portion of the tower ceased. The tower was purchased by Krieger Communications and is used as a cellular phone tower.

After Humbard moved his ministry to Florida in the 1980s, the Cathedral was home to a series independent local churches which had increasingly fewer ties with the Humbard family.

In the 1990s, the cathedral was sold to the Reverend Ernest Angley's ministry, and was rededicated as Grace Cathedral, the name of Angley's previous house of worship. It's adjacent to an office complex that contains a diorama museum called 'The Life Of Christ' by artist Paul Cunningham, and a very popular family style restaurant called the 'Cathedral Buffet'.

Angley also purchased the Cathedral of Tomorrow's television studio facilities, which are used produce his own television programs and house the operations of Angley's WBNX-TV.
