Born from Bishop C. H. McClelland’s visionary leadership at Holy Cathedral Church Of God In Christ, Inc., Word of Hope Ministries Inc. emerged with a mission to address the pressing human needs in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On May 5, 1996, the Word of Hope Family Technology Resource Center (WOHFRC) was inaugurated, marking the inception of a transformative journey.

Bishop McClelland’s involvement in a task force dedicated to developing Family Technology Resources in Milwaukee laid the foundation for the first Family Technology Resource Center (FTRC) at a community site. After a year of dedicated work, Word of Hope’s Family Technology Resource Center opened its doors on April 20, 1998.

Today, Word of Hope Ministries stands as a vital subsidiary of Holy Cathedral COGIC, encompassing WOHFRC and FTRC as integral components.
