Editing Hour of Power (section)

==History==
The [[Shepherd's Grove|Garden Grove Community Church]] of the [[Reformed Church in America]] aired its first televised worship under the Hour of Power name on February 8, 1970. By the 1980s, it was the most-watched weekly religious program in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-07-20/crystal-cathedral-megachurch-conversion-catholicism|title=Crystal Cathedral, the original evangelical megachurch, has a conversion to Catholicism|date=July 21, 2019|website=Los Angeles Times}}</ref> Originally hosted by the Robert H.

On October 26, 2008, it was announced that the elder Schuller had removed his son as the program’s host and Crystal Cathedral Ministries’ teaching pastor, but allowed him to remain as the church’s senior pastor. Robert H. Schuller said that he wanted to take the ministry in a different direction and for the foreseeable future would use guest speakers for the weekly services rather than his son.<ref>{{cite news |title=Schuller ousts son from show; He cites a 'lack of shared vision' on the future of the ministry, which he had handed over less than three years ago |author=Sam Quinones |date=October 26, 2008 |work=Los Angeles Times |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-oct-26-me-schuller26-story.html}}</ref> Well-known speakers who were used in the early stages of the new format included [[Lee Strobel]], [[John C.

On March 10, 2012, it was announced that Robert H. Schuller and his wife, Arvella, would be leaving the church. The following day their elder daughter, Sheila Schuller Coleman, announced at the morning service that she would also be leaving the church, therefore cutting all family ties with the Crystal Cathedral and ''Hour of Power''. That week's broadcast would also be the program's final broadcast "<ref name=LATimes031212>{{Cite news |url=https://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/03/crystal-cathedral-divided-as-schuller-leave-changes-planned.html |title=Crystal Cathedral divided as Schullers leave, changes planned |date=March 12, 2012 |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> The ministry's successor, the Rev. Bill Bennett, said that the ministry would continue but using a more traditional service.<ref name=LATimes031212/>

In June 2012, the Rev. [[Bobby Schuller]], the son of Robert A. Schuller, started preaching on a voluntary basis. In February 2013, Bobby Schuller was named as pastor for the ''Hour of Power''.{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}
