Just as every great empire today had a little beginning so also Salvation Ministries (Home of Success) had a little beginning. Pastor David Ibiyeomie, having completed his bible school training at Bishop Oyedepo’s Word of Faith Bible Institute, started a house fellowship with his family at 1689B, Buraimo Kenku Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. He later relocated to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, specifically G.R.A., Port Harcourt. Thus Salvation Ministries (Glorious Chapel) started on April 13, 1997, at Plot 35, Birabi Street, G.R.A.

The Church, in July 1999, relocated from Plot 35, Birabi to Plot 17, Birabi Street (the present place) in G.R.A Port Harcourt, now reportedly worth over N1.5billion. As a result of ever surging crowd, the worship centre which is now a mega church would soon relocate to their new site with a state of the art architectural masterpiece cathedral and hi-tech facilities, at Igwuruta, along International Airport Road, Port Harcourt. The capacity of the cathedral, according to the ministry, is going to be amongst the largest in the world and is penned at N5 billion alongside other facilities.
The ministry acclaimed one of the fastest growing churches in Nigeria has blossomed into over 50,000 adult regular worshippers at the headquarters alone aside its branches. By reason of the teeming population, the church runs five services every Sunday and two services on every Thursday in all their satellite churches also.
