Our History
Israel Total Life Ministries was founded by Bishop Larry D. Palmer, Sr. and First Lady Brenda Palmer. In the early days of the ministry, the first meetings were held in the basement of their home. As the ministry begin to flourish, they soon outgrew their humble basement accommodations and realized they needed a larger place to worship. As God drew more and more people to the vision and mission of Israel Total Life Ministries, the Lord opened a ministry door of opportunity and the ITLM congregation moved to J.C. Parks Elementary School. The first service was held on May 4th 2003 with over 100 people in attendance.
As Bishop and Lady Palmer labored in the ministry, the Lord continued to add more people to the flock. In order to maximise their ministry efforts, the Lord put upon Bishop's heart the desire to move to a more permanent location. After several years of praying, seeking, and knocking, the Lord led Bishop and Lady Palmer to build a ministry at 64 Industrial Park Drive in Waldorf, Maryland. Their faithful labor culminated in building a brand new 700 seat cathedral.
