The little church building located at 15 South Maple Street has seen a lot of history in the 100 years or so since it has been in existence and the property is getting ready to create new history in the City of Hartford.

At the end of 2005, the congregation of His Place: Cathedral of Faith saw the need for multiple community centers in the surrounding communities. The City of Hartford was chosen as the first location to begin this outreach program for the children and adults of Hartford.

His Place: Hartford Community Center was formed by His Place: Cathedral of Faith church on June 13, 2006 by a resolution to establish a community center in Hartford. The church appointed a board of directors to handle marketing and fund raising responsibilities as well as oversight of the center.

In 2006 the old church was torn down and its history continued in 2007 as construction began, giving this site new life as His Place: Hartford Community Center.

In 2007 a generous community member donated the building on 24 West Main and the learning center opened for after school homework assistance.  More than 250 students from 10 communities were served in the facility.

In the fall of 2010 the Community Center opens to the public.

His Place: Cathedral of Faith opened Hope Chest Thrift Store in 2010 to provide economical clothing to the community with the proceeds to support the community center.

As school reopens in 2011 the learning center has now moved into the community center, and the thrift store is now utilizing the extra space at 24 West Main to offer furniture, appliances and larger items for sale in addition to clothing and household items.
