How it all started...

High Praise Ministries was established on July 3, 1994, by Pastors Dr. DeWayne A. Hill and Co-Pastor Parthia M. Hill. Initially, the ministry operated out of a rented space at 4200 Lake Road in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. As the needs of the ministry grew, the High Praise family sought God's guidance to expand their reach into the heart of the Minneapolis north side community, where Dr. Hill spent his formative years. It was no coincidence that 1130 N 7th Street became the new home for this flourishing ministry of destiny.

In 2003, The Destiny Center (DC) was launched with the mission of enhancing the quality of life for all cultural communities through education, leadership training, self-development, family support groups, and spiritual guidance. The DC aims to serve as a vital resource within the community, directing individuals back to the Bible while utilizing the teachings of Christ and practical principles for daily living. This approach empowers community members to maximize their potential in critical areas, including housing, employment, and economic development. Currently, we offer a variety of impactful programs:
