Hope Christian Ministries began as a prayer ministry January 4, 2003 at the Courtyard by Marriott on West Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia.  The ministry started with only Pastor Vereen, his wife, Elect Lady Monique Holston-Vereen and their daughter.

The church had its first radio broadcast on WREJ Rejoice radio on June 7, 2003.  It was confirmed the same day at a service at the Holiday Inn-Crossroads on Staples Mill Road that the ministry would become a church and took in its first members.  It was then on January 4, 2004 that the church held its first official church service.  After rapid growth, on March 24, 2004, the church transitioned from the Courtyard Marriott to the Inns of Virginia on West Broad Street.  After continued growth, on October 24, 2004, the church moved to Westhampton United Methodist Church on Patterson Avenue in Richmond, Virginia.

Center of Hope Life Changing Church (Home of Hope Christian Ministries) celebrated its first anniversary with a banquet on January 28, 2005.  On January 29, 2005, Pastor Vereen was officially installed as Pastor.
