Who We Are
Our Mission
At Destiny Church our mission is simple, and it is threefold:
Know God in a personal way
Learn to walk with Jesus as His disciples
Expand God’s kingdom by helping other become followers of Christ
Our History
Destiny Church began in 1984. Pastor Rich Vernon moved to Wahoo with his wife, Shelly, and their two oldest daughters, in 1984 and started an Assemblies of God church called Cathedral of Praise. The church gathered on the north side of the college campus (in the building that is now Makovica Physical Therapy).
In 2005, the direction of the church changed to become Non-Denominational. It wasn't too long after that that the church's name changed to Destiny Church, under People of Destiny Ministries, and they moved to the building they gather in today (South East of the college campus).
In 2014, People of Destiny Ministries purchased part of the college campus, which includes the Main Hub, East Hall and the gymnasium. Later the athletic field (behind the gymnasium) was also purchased for future parking.
In the fall of 2021, Richard Gervais became Destiny Church's pastor when Rich Vernon stepped down as its pastor to commit fully to his leadership position of People of Destiny Ministries, whose primary focus is restoring East Hall and the gymnasium.
