The Church
Victory Church
We exist to love God and love people.
Since 1996, Victory Church has stood on the foundations of Matthew 22:37-40, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
We believe in reaching lost & broken people and meeting them right where they are. At Victory Church, you’ll find it’s a place where people love and care for one another – a place to feel valued.

We believe in the virgin birth and the deity of Jesus Christ, that He was fully God and fully man.

We believe in observing the Lord’s Supper.
1 Corinthians 11:24-26
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, an experience following conversion, and that His incoming is after the same manner as in the days of the Early Church.

We believe that heaven is the eternal home of born-again believers and that hell is the place of eternal separation from God for all who reject Christ as Savior.
John 14:2; Revelation 20:10, 15
We believe that tithing and offerings are ordained of God to sustain His ministry, spread the Gospel, and release personal blessing.
