Church History
“I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” Matthew 16:18. With these words, our Lord Jesus Christ instituted that His people would always be found seeking to love and serve Him in communities. Victory Missionary Baptist Church exists because of His faithfulness to His Word. Victory was organized into an independent Missionary Baptist Church on November 3, 1973. As a temporary location, members worshiped in a Community Building in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, and later moved to a building on Old Hickory Boulevard in Madison, TN. With the Lord’s Blessing, the Church grew and needed a larger sanctuary. In 1981, two tracts of land were purchased on Gallatin Road in Hendersonville, Tennessee and the Church construction was soon under way. On February 28, 1982, Victory Church held its first service in the new building at 457 East Main Street in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and the Lord continues to bless us as a lighthouse to this community.

Our primary goal at Victory Missionary Baptist Church is to glorify God. We seek to fulfill this goal in three ways:
- Inreach- the ministry of the church to itself, edification
- Outreach- the ministry of the church to the world, evangelism
- Upreach- the ministry of the church to the Lord, worship
