Ernest Angley

Ernest Angley (born August 9, 1921) is an American Christian evangelist, author, and television station owner based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

Born on August 9, 1921, Ernest Angley is a native of Gaston County, North Carolina. In his autobiography, he details his early life being raised in the Charlotte area as a Baptist, and at the age of 18 accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior. In the early 1950s, traveling with their tent and camper, he and his wife arrived in Northeast Ohio as a traveling "salvation and healing" Pentecostal evangelist.

Angley's interdenominational ministry was originally based at Grace Cathedral (a.k.a. the "Temple of Healing Stripes") in Springfield Township, Ohio southeast of Akron. That church is now known as Grace Cathedral – Akron and is used by their youth ministry (for youth services) and for church weddings, funerals and Bible study. In 1994, Angley purchased part of a large complex in his home base of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio that was formerly owned by televangelist Rex Humbard, which includes the church formerly known as the Cathedral of Tomorrow (which was rededicated as Grace Cathedral) and its next-door television studios.

Humbard's Cathedral of Tomorrow complex was sold in 1994 to television evangelist Ernest Angley, along with the Channel 55 license, which was used by Angley's Winston Broadcasting Network division for the current Cleveland area CW affiliate, WBNX-TV. This complex now includes the Grace Cathedral, the Cathedral Buffet restaurant, WBNX-TV's studios and offices, as well as other companies which lease space.
