Timeline
The First Church of Deliverance building was designated a Chicago Landmark on October 5, 1994.
Clarence H. Cobbs died at his home in Chicago on June 28, 1979. He is interred in Oak Woods Cemetery.
In 1953, the Church of Deliverance became the first black church in the country to televise its services, which were carried on WLS-TV for 12 weeks.
The First Church of Deliverance published music for gospel composers such as Dave Carl Weston. Doris Akers credited one of Cobbs' radio sermons for inspiring her 1951 song "My Expectation", and songwriters Thurston G. Frazier and Cora Martin also dedicated works to him. Cobbs supported singer Billy Williams in the years before the latter's death in 1972, and paid for his funeral services and burial.
By the early 1940s, the congregation had over 9,000 members. It affiliated with the Metropolitan Spiritual Churches of Christ (MSCC), and after the death of Bishop William F. Taylor in 1945, Cobbs became the head of one of two successor segments, the Metropolitan Spiritual Churches of Christ, Incorporated. This would grow to include 130 churches, including ones in Ghana, Jamaica, and Liberia.
In 1939, the church moved into a large new building designed by Walter T. Bailey at its Wabash Avenue site, and that same year, composer Kenneth Morris prevailed on Cobbs to install a Hammond organ, giving the choir's music a distinctive sound. Morris recalled,
Nicknamed "Preacher", Cobbs became known for his fashionable clothes, informal manner, and stirring performances with the church's 200-member choir. They appeared before large crowds in Comiskey Park, and began broadcasting services on radio station WSBC in 1935. The hour-long "Midnight Broadcast" pioneered a format which was followed by many subsequent religious programs.
