With a foundation steeped in the teaching and leadership of local overseers, Senior Pastor Darrell and Associate Pastor Willie Mae Jackson of Bible Way of Atlas Road, and leadership training under Dr. Myles Munroe and Dr. Cindy Trimm, Pure Dominion Inc., and its faith-based initiatives was established in October of 2008. The organization strives to equip individuals and families to find and pursue their God-given purpose while providing the tools for safety and self-sufficiency for those in need.

First, as a community outreach ministry, the Pure Dominion team began working in the Bay Berry and Capital Heights communities of Columbia, SC. Recognizing the devastating effects of domestic violence, fatherlessness, and educational/economic disparities, Pure Dominion, through the agreement of the neighborhood owners, received, renovated, and established one of the houses within the Bay Berry neighborhood. It was equipped as a community resource center to address these issues and build supportive relationships with the children and families. In partnership with the neighborhood school, Burton Elementary, Pure Dominion provided clothing, tutoring, summer feeding programs, leadership education, and conflict resolution to minister to the spiritual and natural needs of the communities.

As a result of neighborhood ownership changes, after over 5 years of service, Pure Dominion began to provide its services at local homeless shelters for children and families until the organization decided to establish its center for service in the Columbia northeast area of South Carolina called The Gathering Place. The Gathering Place is the facility where all of the ministry empowerment services and community initiatives are housed. In January 2016, it was created to restore families, equip leaders and rebuild communities. Families are served and educated, individual purposes are discovered and corporate missions are executed as we pursue the will of God with the love and dominion Christ has given.

The Gathering Place, through our public benefit organization, Pure Dominion Inc., housed quarterly educational events for those who work with families of Domestic Violence to provide strategies, resources, and support systems. In addition, for the community at large, we provided life-changing empowerment sessions for personal growth, self-sufficiency, family biblical counseling, financial services, and youth leadership throughout the year.

As a result of the pandemic, although many of our services are the same our methods have changed. We accomplish this by providing and advocating for safety for women and children, education and self-sufficiency for all, and spiritual and professional growth for the entire family unit. PDI, through Service, Education, Advocacy, and Mentoring, strives to eliminate the long-term effects of Trauma and Domestic Violence that destroy the capacity of our children and families to be their best selves. Our vision is to provide creative and life-altering experiences, to change the culture of communities while developing leaders who do the same. Therefore, the initiatives of Pure Dominion Ministries, Inc. serve different targeted populations depending on the needs of the population and desired outcomes.
