At Victorious Life Church, our beliefs are rooted in the Word of God and grounded in historic Christian faith. These core beliefs guide how we worship, live, serve, and grow together in Christ.
The Bible
We believe the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are inspired by God and reveal His truth to humanity. The Bible is our final authority for faith, doctrine, and daily living.
2 Timothy 3:15–17 | 1 Thessalonians 2:13 | 2 Peter 1:21
One True God
We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things and desires a personal relationship with every person.
Deuteronomy 6:4 | Isaiah 43:10–11 | Matthew 28:19 | Luke 3:22
The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God.
We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary death on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His exaltation at the right hand of God, and His personal return in power and glory.
Matthew 1:23 | Luke 1:31–35 | Hebrews 7:26 | 1 Peter 2:22 | Acts 2:22 |

Matthew 28:6 | Luke 24:39 | Acts 1:9–11 | Philippians 2:9–11 | Hebrews 1:3
The Fall of Humanity
We believe humanity was created good and upright, but through voluntary disobedience fell into sin, bringing both physical and spiritual separation from God.
Genesis 1:26–27, 2:17, 3:6 | Romans 5:12–19
Salvation
We believe salvation is available to all through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Salvation is received by repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ. The inward evidence of salvation is the witness of the Holy Spirit. The outward evidence is a transformed life marked by righteousness and holiness.
Luke 24:47 | John 3:3 | Romans 10:13–15 | Ephesians 2:8 |

Ordinances of the Church
Water Baptism
We believe baptism by immersion is commanded in Scripture as a public testimony of faith in Christ.
Matthew 28:19 | Mark 16:16 | Acts 10:47–48 | Romans 6:4
Holy Communion
We believe the Lord’s Supper is a memorial of Christ’s suffering and death and a proclamation of His return.
1 Corinthians 11:26 | 2 Peter 1:4
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
We believe all believers who are earnestly seeking after purity and holiness, are entitled to and should seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, which empowering them for holy living and service.
Luke 24:49 | Acts 1:4 | 1 Cor. 12:1-31 | Acts 8:12–17 | Acts 10:44–46, 11:14–16, 15:7-9 | John 7:37-39 | Acts 4:8, 2:42-43 | Hebrews 12:28 | Mark 16:20
Sanctification
We believe that sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil and dedication unto God. The Scriptures teach a life of holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord. By the power of the Holy Spirit, believers are enabled to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.”
Sanctification is realized in the life of the believer by recognizing identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, by faith reckoning daily upon that union, and by continually yielding every faculty to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

The Church
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, the dwelling place of God through the Holy Spirit, called to fulfill the Great Commission.
Ephesians 1:22–23, 2:22 | Hebrews 12:23
Ministry
We believe God has established ministry to:
- Evangelize the world
- Worship God
- Build up believers into maturity in Christ
Mark 16:15–20 | John 4:23–24 | Ephesians 4:11–16
Divine Healing
We believe divine healing is part of the Gospel and is available to believers through the atoning work of Christ.

The Blessed Hope
We believe in the resurrection of believers and the return of Christ for His Church, which is our blessed hope.
1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 | Romans 8:23 | Titus 2:13 |
1 Corinthians 15:51–52
The Return and Reign of Christ
We believe in the second coming of Christ, which includes the rapture of the Church, our blessed hope, followed by the return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for a thousand years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.
