Total
Praise & Worship Centre held their first worship service
on Palm Sunday, March 28, 1999 in a classroom leased
from the Metro Church. There was thirty people in
attendance with only eight being charter members. Before
the ministry was a month old, eight new members and
their eight children were added to the membership. Total
Praise held services at that location for nine months,
where healing and deliverance took place.
The ministry then moved to 2032 E. 46th street, "The
Miracle on 46th Street". Six thousand dollars was spent
on the renovation of the storefront building. Many souls
were blessed because of the ministry being on that
corner. At this place, the motto was given, "Lives being
changed through the power of praise and worship".
God is Moving and So Are We
Under the leading of the Holy Ghost, Pastor Ric was
directed to the building that is the present place of
worship. The building has 11,000 square feet and was
vacant for quite some time, but the Lord led Pastor Ric
to this place. After a shifting in the membership and
members being removed, the building was purchased with
only 8 adult members. The renovation process quickly
began and as they say, "the rest is history".
