Welcome to Our History: Unleashing Destiny’s Journey

Destiny Church International, a beacon of hope and transformation, began its incredible journey in October 2012. Our roots trace back to the Destiny Center, an inspired outreach ministry founded by the visionary Pastor Sue Ceasar-Alexander. From its modest beginnings on the Near East Side of Columbus, Ohio, Destiny Church International has evolved into a powerhouse of faith, impacting lives and communities across the southeast side of the city.

A Relaunch of Purpose

The rebirth of Destiny Church International in 2012 marked a pivotal moment in our history. With a renewed sense of purpose, we stepped into the world, guided by our unwavering commitment to spreading the love and teachings of Christ. Under the new leadership of Pastor Teddy Ceasar, we set forth to create a spiritual haven where souls could find solace, strength, and salvation.

Embracing Change and Triumphing Through Challenges

As with any journey, Destiny Church International encountered its share of trials and triumphs. The pandemic of 2020 brought unforeseen challenges, but it also presented an opportunity to embrace the digital realm and expand our reach. Virtual worship services emerged as a powerful medium to connect with people not only across Columbus, Ohio but also throughout the United States. Through these virtual encounters, lives were transformed, and communities found unity in faith.

Rooted in Pentecostal Heritage

Destiny Church International proudly embraces its Pentecostal foundation, drawing upon the rich heritage of spiritual empowerment and fervent worship. We believe in the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and seek to create an atmosphere where believers are equipped to fulfill their destinies as change-makers in the world.

An Equipping Church with a Global Vision

At Destiny Church International, we are more than a congregation; we are a family of believers united in purpose. Our desire is to be an equipping church, empowering each individual to recognize their unique gifts and talents. Through inspiring sermons, transformative teachings, and heartfelt fellowship, we aim to equip our members to impact their communities and the world with the message of God’s love.

Expanding Horizons

As we look to the future, Destiny Church International is committed to continual growth and expansion. Our pursuit of new ministry endeavors drives us forward, reaching out to those who are lost and seeking solace in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our vision is one of a united and compassionate church, making a difference in the lives of people both near and far.
