How it all started...
DHCC was birthed after Pastor Pepper Martin heard from God at a prayer conference she attended at Zion Cathedral COGIC, sponsored by Bishop Frank Anthone White on March 28, 2015 in Freeport, New York. She called a meeting that evening at her home with a small group of people that mainly consisted of family and friends to discuss her experience and the vision God birthed in her spirit.
Two months later, on Sunday, May 17, 2015, Pastor Pepper Martin and the Destiny House Church family had their debut service in Amityville with approximately 200 people in attendance. Her family presented her with a robe and her father consecrated it. Her mom, Sha-Sha Asencio and husband Sydney Martin also stood by her side in complete awe of what God had done in just two months.
The church is growing steadily and has also developed a loving personality experiencing firsthand what faith can release when it is combined with prayer and praise. We believe that everyone has a gift and destiny ordained by God and the Word provides the roadmap to get us there. As a result, our motto is, “We will get you where you need to go riding on the Word of God!” It is this motto that continues to compel us to work diligently within our local community while also establishing a global presence.
Within six months, we moved to our current location in Freeport, New York.

Expanding the vision...
At Destiny House Christian Center, we believe God is calling us to expand the vision beyond the four walls of the church and into the community. Expanding the vision means growing spiritually, reaching more souls, strengthening families, empowering youth, and building a ministry that impacts lives through faith, service, and love. As we continue to walk in purpose, we are committed to creating opportunities for worship, discipleship, outreach, and community engagement that will help people grow closer to God and fulfill their God-given purpose. Through unity, prayer, and obedience to God’s direction, we believe the vision will continue to grow and transform lives for generations to come.
Where we are headed...
At Destiny House Christian Center, we are headed toward a future rooted in faith, growth, and purpose. Our vision is to become a ministry that transforms lives, strengthens families, and impacts the community through the power of God’s Word. We are committed to expanding our outreach, developing leaders, empowering the next generation, and creating a welcoming environment where everyone can grow spiritually and discover their purpose in Christ. As we continue to move forward in obedience to God’s direction, we believe He is leading us into greater service, greater impact, and greater opportunities to minister to the needs of His people.
