Victory Baptist Church started on a Wednesday evening as a Bible study, March 9, 2016, with just a handful of people, 7 in addition to my family. Our Lord has continued to bless us over the years and we have an average attendance on Sunday of around 30. Some of our primary goals at VBC are to to win souls for Jesus Christ; to make the truths of the Bible known, understood, and integrated into the
lives of the members of our church; and to strengthen the relationships of the members of our church by having a variety of activities and events outside of the weekly church services. Our desire is to grow numerically, but not at the expense of correct doctrine; biblical standards; or personal and church (ecclesiastical) separation. In other words, we gather to worship Jesus Christ through the preaching, music ministry, and fellowship of the saints. Our services are not designed to create an emotional experience or "pep rally" for Jesus. We trust the Holy Spirit to move people from the inside out and we do not try to manufacture this movement by human effort. Don't misunderstand, we have a good time in the Lord, but it happens organically and is not forced. Our pastor is passionate about the importance of faith, hope, and love for one another inside and outside of the church, prayer, serving, and sharing our faith in Jesus Christ with people who do not have a personal relationship with Him; and integrating believers who have strayed from the Lord back into a healthy relationship with the church and God's people. If you don’t have a church home, or are looking for a small, Baptist Church, consider this your personal invitation for you to come out and join us on Sunday morning (10:30) or Wednesday evening (7:00). A note from our pastor: I want to add a little about me and my approach to ministry. I received Jesus Christ on January 12, 1997, at Fellowship Baptist Church under the preaching of Pastor Dinoff. I did not grow up in church and for years was dependent on drugs and alcohol to just get through the day. I could not function normally without being under the influence of some kind of substance. To put it as simply as possible, I am a rescued man trying to help rescue others. I know what it is to live a life that is filled with all kinds of “bad things” that a lot of people in church will never understand. God reached out to me in love and grace and saved me. As a man who has experienced the grace of God against the backdrop of a messed up, wasted, hateful, and destructive life, I can tell you that God can set you free from all that. The best way I can describe it is that I was literally chained to a boulder I could not move and Jesus set me free. I was not clean when He saved me, but He helped me get clean. You don’t have to “get things right” before you reach out to Jesus. You reach out to Him exactly where you are and let Him do what only He can – set you free!
