You were made for something great!
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. ACTS 1:8 NKJV
Vision
Our vision is to be a house of prayer that fulfills Acts 1:8 by making disciples of Jesus through our four pillars and according to our C.H.E.C.K values.
Four Pillars
+ Building Families (Jerusalem)
God designed family as the primary place where faith is nurtured. We’re dedicated to helping you build strong, loving relationships and have areas of ministry available for people in various stages of life.
+ Transforming Communities (Judea)
As followers of Jesus, we are called to be the tangible expression of His compassion and love in the world around us. We continually host Community Transformations and support the efforts of ministries in our community.
+ Reconciling Cultures (Samaria)
We celebrate diversity! Victory is made up of more than 100 different nationalities, a wide range of ages, singles, married couples, families and people from a variety of church backgrounds.
+ Impacting Nations (end of the earth)
We’re committed to reaching beyond the four walls and into the needs of our nation and the world. Every year we send dozens of teams on overseas missions trips, and we regularly give more than 20% of our budget to causes both locally and abroad.
C.H.E.C.K Values
COURAGEOUS
We follow Jesus into the unknown, walking by faith and not by sight, no matter what it costs us.
HUMBLE
We are not led by title. We lead with open hands, always seeking to serve others.
EMPOWERING
We make disciples who make disciples...Equip, empower and send!
CONNECTED
We walk slowly through the crowd; we seek to know people and walk alongside them through life.
KIND
People know we are disciples of Jesus by the way we love others.
We want you to be able to take the vision, values, dreams, and goals God has given us with you everywhere you go. We’ve put them all in one place and made them available to you digitally. Download PDF
At the heart of Victory Church…
Our foundation is built on the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that God, the Father, loved the world so much He gave His only son who would live and die for us and our sins. We know His Holy Spirit is our guide—and our hearts are bent on love for God’s people; therefore, we are driven by Christ's command to “go into all the world and preach the gospel…” (Mark 16:15) The scriptures are the standard by which we measure and do ministry.
Scripture
The Bible is the inspired Word of God – the product of men who spoke and wrote. His holy Word is what we accept as our infallible guide in all matters of life and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
The Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit being coequal (1 John 5:6-8; Philippians 2:6). God the Father is the sender of the Word (John 16:28; John 1:14). The Son is the Word made flesh, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 15:26).
Fall + Redemption
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s fall, sin came into the world. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Jesus Christ came in the form of man and gave His life to restore us back to God, undoing the work of the devil (Romans 5:14; Romans 3:10 & 23; 1 John 3:8). Salvation is the gift of God to man, which we receive by faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8).
Eternal Life
Man’s first step toward salvation is godly sorrow through repentance. The New Birth is necessary for all men and, when experienced, produces eternal life (2 Corinthians 7:10; 1 John 5:12; John 3:3-5; Romans 10:9-10).
Hell
The one who dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity to hear the Gospel or repent. The terms “eternal” and “everlasting,” which are used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the Lake of Fire, carry the same meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of the saints in the presence of God (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:15).
Water Baptism
Baptism in water by immersion is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12; Acts 8:36-39).
Holy Spirit
The promise of the baptism in the Holy Spirit as a commensurate experience is available to all believers with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, as well as the demonstration of spiritual power in daily life (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6; Acts 1:8; Matthew 3:11).
Sanctification
The Bible teaches that, without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace, beginning at the time of salvation and continuing until the return of Christ (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 3:12-14; 1 Corinthians 1:30).
Sexuality
God’s plan for us is to walk in holiness in all areas, especially in what we do with our bodies. God’s Word affirms heterosexual union for married persons and committed celibate behavior for unmarried persons as the only biblical options for human sexual conduct. All alternative sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage, such as homosexuality/bisexual practices, adultery, fornication, bestiality, incest, polygamy, pedophilia, and pornography are sin (Genesis 1:27 & 2:24; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8; Hebrews 13:4; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
Divine Healing
Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is available to us by the power of God through the prayer of faith and the laying on of hands. Jesus Christ made this available to all believers at Calvary (Mark 16:18; James 5:14-15; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 53:4-5).
Resurrection of the Just
Jesus will return to the earth as King of kings and Lord of lords. Those who have died in Christ will rise first and those of us who live will rise to meet Him also. Then God will make all things new – a new heaven and a new earth. His coming is imminent and we must live as such! (Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 21:1-8)
