Victory Fellowship ChurchYou’ve never experienced anything quite like Victory Fellowship Church. VFC is a non-denominational “bapti-costal” church family with an emphasis on practical teaching, spirit-filled living and personal growth. Our worship style is contemporary and we want people to feel comfortable expressing themselves during worship with raised hands, clapping or bowing. We offer two Sunday morning worship services at 9:15 a.m. (ends around 10:30) and 11 a.m. (ends around 12:30). Wednesday night youth and children’s services as well as adult small groups start at 6:30 pm and end at 8:30 pm. Your past or your current struggles do not disqualify you from worshiping with us. You are welcome here!

First Responders InitiativeThe First Responders Initiative is a faith-based ministry dedicated to helping strengthen the marriages and families of our approximately 1800 local First Responders (including Law Enforcement, Fire Department, and EMT’s). While the national divorce rate remains at 50%, the divorce rate for First Responders averages between 60-75%. This is the highest percentage of any other community demographics, primarily because of the vocational stress associated with this critical area of public safety. By providing confidential Pastoral Counseling, Relationship Coaching, Marriage Education, Premarital Counseling, and a safe place to vent and de-stress, the First Responders Initiative hopes to help keep these courageous families from becoming another statistic.
