Growing up, he led worship in his local church (the church he is now pastoring), forming a family worship band called “Cadence” in 2007. After high school and whilst touring full time with the band, Pastor Donny received his BS Degree from Southeastern University, with a Major in Practical Theology and a Minor in Missions.

In 2017, Pastor Donny felt a very clear call to love and serve Victory Church with his life. Love for God, his family, and his church keep him filled with joy and hope for every day. Choosing the answer the call, the band retired from vocational music and Pastor Donny started to serve several roles at Victory church. In June of 2021, Pastor Donny took on the role of Lead Pastor, succeeding his father, Don Karpinen, the founding pastor.

Brittany Karpinen is a leader, singer, artist, and proud mother of two girls. Being middle-school sweethearts with Pastor Donny has led them to do life together for a majority of their lives. As such, Brittany was the lead female vocalist of “Cadence” and a regular worship leader at Victory Church.
