We love God, who reveals Himself through Jesus (the Living Word) by the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures (the written Word). The Word (Jesus Christ) is the foundation of, and the filter for, everything we believe and do.
We understand our daily lives represent Christ. We are His witnesses through our Christ-like love, and our personal character and faithfulness. We are a church who walks in integrity.
We believe being the church is about relationship, not legalism (rules, regulations, ritual). Therefore, we embrace you where you are, while helping you become who God has created you to be. We commit to relationship versus legalism.
Jesus revealed family is near and dear to the heart of God. He is our Father and we are His children. We, as a church, commit to strengthening your family. In doing so, we long to strengthen the family of God. We are a family and we serve families.
We believe God is our true provider. We are blessed to be a blessing, and we reap what we sow. Because of this, we commit to never manipulate or condemn you into giving or serving. Being generous is who we are, not just what we do. We believe in generosity both with our finances and with our time.
God acts generationally. Longevity and faithfulness to every generation are more important to us than short-term success. Young or old, you are welcomed and valued, and there is a place for you to serve. We are generational. We think, act, and plan with the next generation in mind. We serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
We, the leaders of Victory Life (those who are an example for others to follow), in order to:
Do ordain and establish this convenant.
We will work together as a leadership team governed by three core spiritual principles: Honor, Unity, and Trust.
“Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.”
Romans 12:10 (NKJV)
“Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.”
Romans 13:7 (NKJV)
1. We agree to submit to and not undermine God-given, God-appointed authority. [Hebrews 13:17]
2. We commit to further the Kingdom of God and not build our own. [Philippians 2:20-21; Matthew 6:33]
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing — Life forevermore.”
Psalm 133:1-3 (NKJV)
1. We will not participate in nor be a party to church splits. [Ephesians 4:1-3]
2. We bind together relationally in which divorce is no option.
“And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.”
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (KJV)
1. We will remain open to correction from those who love us. [Proverbs 19:20; Luke 17:3-4; Proverbs 27:5-7; Proverbs 9:7-9]
2. We will not receive accusations against one another.
3. We commit to the “5 Day Rule” concerning offenses.
We know worship is a call of all believers and a vital part of our discipleship journey. One of the ways we facilitate worship is through our weekend services. These services are structured around the values of: Celebration, Inspiration, Preparation, and Salvation.
Real life change happens in the context of relationships. In the Bible, believers worshipped in the temple but ministry also happened house to house. Life Groups are one of the ways we facilitate community at Victory Life. Each Campus’s groups can be found at our Online Directory.
All of us were created by God to make a difference in the life of another person. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can touch the lives of others. Serving helps us to grow into the image of Christ and discover purpose. We believe your life will never make sense until you find, develop, and fulfill that purpose. Our TEAMS provide people a place to start serving during our service times. We also have numerous ways to serve within our communities.
