Dr. Donnell D. Cunningham

Dr. Donnell D. Cunningham is the Presiding Prelate & Senior Pastor of New Genesis Total Praise Center Ministries, Inc . He was born on December 23, 1975 to the late Mr. Donnell & Mrs. Theresa Cunningham who never received the chance to witness the manifestation of God over his life and because of the calling; on Sunday, May 11, 2003 with just 4 members New Genesis Total Praise Center, Inc became the "Church where Jesus is Lord and Reigns Forever". As the Senior Pastor of this branch of Zion God began to show his miraculous hand by adding to the church daily.

Bishop Cunningham accepted Jesus Christ at the age of 6 and at the age of 9 was called into the Ministry; not knowing what it really took God was preparing our Leader by giving him two pillars of strength that would cultivate him into reaching his Destiny. First was his grandmother the rock, backbone, and strength of him Mother Delores Cooper a woman who loves God and trust and believe in his Word knowing that only what you do for Christ will last and secondly, his great-grandmother Mrs. Ella Mae Bennett a woman of character and integrity. Our Leader would spend the summers with her and during his time there sat at her feet to receive impartation for she was a vessel used to shape and mold this man of God.

In continuing with ministry at the age of 19 the manifestation of the promise was taking place. Bishop Cunningham received water baptism at Antioch Church of God and was licensed and ordained as a "Reverend" under the Church of the Living God. Bishop Cunningham never ceased to study the Word of God for he received his Bachleors Degree in Theology from the Family Bible College & Seminary.

As a young man pursuing after destiny this was his mission. In his pursuits of fulfilling the call on his life He served in many capacities for the kingdom for the word of the Lord declares if you are "faithful over a few things he will make you ruler of many". He had a voice in ministry by being a servant ranging from Youth Pastor to Dean of the Trinity School of Enlightment.

Due to his effective leadership the plan of God is ever moving in the life of His man-servant. Bishop Cunningham became the Senior Pastor of New Genesis Total Praise Center, Inc were the vision is ever being manifested. Because of his appreciation for the "Anointing" that has been placed over his life Bishop has been called upon to minister throughout the United States, Africa, and in the Island of the Bahamas. He has hosted/facilitated Renaissance Conference 2006 & 2007 in Florida and Georgia.

There are so many accolades and achievements that our Bishop has received, ranging from Citations from the City of Baltimore & the State of Maryland to being recognized for his service in the Community; in March of 2007 he was consecrated to Bishop & Presiding Prelate of New Genesis Total Praise Center,Inc, in January of 2008 he became a Business Owner, and on Saturday, May 30, 2008 he received his Doctoral Degree of Divinity from the Redeemed Bible Institute in Baltimore, MD affilitated with the Christian International Seminary.

Because of the anointing that has been placed on his life he will always have a "heart" for God's people. In the Book of Jeremiah, God said that he will give us Pastors after his own heart, and because of his passion for ministry this is what keeps him moving forward. He continues to share his love for God and for the people of God with his daughter the "First Princess" Miss Shantrelle Cunningham and with his son "Jr. Youth Pastor" Minister Anthony Cunningham and with all of His sons and daughters in the gospel.
