Victory Baptist Church was founded 50 years ago, originally meeting in the Casa Grande Women’s Club, then moving to a location on Pottebaum. Since 1989, Victory has been blessed to meet at 1225 E Cottonwood Ln.

But we understand that ‘church’ isn’t the building that we meet in. Church refers to the people — the family of believers that comes together to serve and to worship. Victory Baptist Church is a family made up of people from all different backgrounds, united by one thing: faith in Christ Jesus.  

As a local assembly of believers who are called the body of Christ, we strive to point each other to growth in Christ, remembering the nearness of eternity and the greatness of our God. We recognize our responsibility to God and each other, and pledge to be faithful to Him.

Through so many years of ministering, our Church has seen the faithful hand of God in our highs and our lows. We have had times of growth, times of loss, times of abundance, and times of struggle. But through it all, Christ has been more than sufficient and we are excited to see how He will continue to lead.
