About this church
Start Right Church of God in Christ meets Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in its landmark Caledonia Avenue building in Cleveland Heights. Services can also be reviewed through the church’s YouTube channel. The congregation emphasizes prayer, holiness in everyday life, discipleship, and spiritual growth across generations. Its website describes small groups and a pastor-led discipleship class intended to help members understand what they believe and why. The stated community goal is to meet both spiritual and physical needs while pointing people to Jesus Christ.
Elder Jimmie Hicks Jr. founded Start Right Church in 2006 after establishing Start Right Ministries in 2000 to reach young people. The congregation first met at Taylor Road Synagogue, then worshiped for twenty months on Mayfield Road before purchasing its present property in 2008. The building itself dates to 1926, was constructed for Church of the Cross, and received Cleveland Heights landmark designation in 2007. Hicks’s official biography also records youth-pastor and Church of God in Christ leadership, military service, city-council work, police chaplaincy, and creation of a community-development corporation. Published pages confirm worship duration, denominational identity, history, leadership, online archives, and discipleship focus, but not music, Communion, baptism preparation, children’s classes, nursery care, safety screening, clothing, parking, accessibility, hearing support, or a live-stream schedule.
