We are now in Koronadal City, South Cotabato!

December 10, 2019

We officially launched our church in Koronadal City, South Cotabato on December 8, 2019! We now hold worship services every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. inside the Narra Hall of Paraiso Verde Resort.

Here is the story behind our 103rd church outside Metro Manila.

Koronadal is the capital city of South Cotabato. It is where administrative offices and major campuses are located. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in Mindanao, so planting a church there would allow us to engage more people with the gospel and help them follow Jesus, fish for people, and fellowship with other believers.

The church started when a couple who used to attend Victory Katipunan moved to Koronadal to start a family there. The husband is a doctor and found it fitting to pursue his profession in his hometown.

Upon learning that the nearest Victory church is in General Santos City, which is an hour’s drive from Koronadal, the doctor and his wife went there. The couple met with the senior pastor of our church in General Santos and started attending regularly. In one of the church events, God birthed a desire in their hearts to start holding Victory group meetings and ministering to people in Koronadal. This led them to seek God in prayer and form Victory groups in the city.

Now, there are over 20 Victory groups in Victory Koronadal. Our church there is believing for a strong discipleship culture, for leaders to find their calling, for campus missionaries to be raised, and a permanent place to meet for Sunday services.

Together, let us continue to pray for Koronadal and our growing church in this municipality!

We are now in Camiling, Tarlac!

November 29, 2019

We officially launched our church in Camiling, Tarlac, on November 24, 2019! We hold worship services every Sunday at 10 a.m. in MC Mundo Building, Bonifacio street.

Camiling is a municipality in Tarlac with a rich cultural heritage. Notable people such as Leonor Rivera and Carlos Romulo came from this place. It is located in the north area of the province, which borders Pangasinan.

Our pastors and leaders started to do monthly prayer walks in Camiling after we planted a church in the nearby municipality of Bayambang, Pangasinan in 2015. Then, in 2017, we sent a church planter to hit the ground running. We started to meet in Victory groups in Tarlac Agricultural University, one of the prominent universities in Camiling. The groups eventually expanded to more universities and high schools. By God’s grace, we had our first worship service on October 6, then we officially launched the church last Sunday, November 24.

Many people from our church in nearby municipalities have been praying for Camiling, and we are grateful to see God answer the prayers through a church plant. Our pastors and leaders in Camiling desire to make the municipality known for more than just the chicharon. They want Camiling to be recognized as a launching pad for missionaries and church planters.

Let’s continue to pray for Camiling and believe that God will use our church to be salt and light to Tarlac and beyond.

Together, let us continue to pray for Camiling and our growing church in this municipality!

We are now in Toril, Davao City!

May 20, 2019

We officially launched our church in Toril, Davao City on May 19, 2019! We now hold worship services inside Castle Dreams Hotel every Sunday at 10:00 a.m.

Here is the story behind our 101st church outside Metro Manila.

Our church in Toril started with a vision from our pastoral team in Davao. They realized that for us to saturate the city with God’s Word and make disciples, we need to maximize our reach. Since Davao City has a massive land area—it’s at least four times the size of Metro Cebu—the only way we can disciple the whole city is to plant more churches.

This was how Victory in Toril began.

Toril is the gateway of Davao City to the south. Everyone who enters Davao City from places like General Santos City, Cotabato City, and Digos City goes through Toril. Because of the district’s strategic location, the future expansion of infrastructures and government plans in Davao are all geared towards it. As a new church plant, it gives us not just many opportunities for future growth but also a chance to reach more people.

Aside from Toril’s strategic location, the traffic condition in the city—which has made it difficult for people who live near Toril to attend our Sunday services in the downtown area—has been a factor as well. Despite this challenge, God opened doors for us to impact the city with the gospel by allowing us to have a church plant in Toril.

As a new church plant, we are believing for more fruitfulness and growth in terms of discipleship. Our prayer is to reach the vast majority of people living in Toril and nearby areas so we can help them grow in their faith and become fruitful disciples. We are also praying to eventually move to a permanent center where we could maximize our discipleship activities and have more opportunities to preach the gospel.

Truly, it is only by His grace that we are able to plant more churches and reach more people. Stand with us in prayer as we believe God for growth and fruitfulness in Mindanao!

We are now in Mabalacat, Pampanga!

April 29, 2019

We officially launched our church in Mabalacat, Pampanga on April 28, 2019! We now hold worship services every Sunday at 5:00 p.m. at the Great Mall of Pampanga, formerly Xevera Commercial Complex.

Here are the humble beginnings of our 100th church outside Metro Manila.

The church plant started through our pastors in Clark who saw the need to reach the people in Mabalacat. At that time, Mabalacat was the only city in Pampanga that had no Victory church yet, so one of our lead pastors from Clark was sent to minister in the city.

On January 24, 2018, we officially started our church planting efforts in Mabalacat by gathering Victory groups in a multipurpose hall in Xevera. The said hall was originally being used as a viewing chapel by the residents in the area, so we would usually transfer to a different location when needed. We started with a handful of people and leaders faithfully gathering every week to seek God and know Him more. Now, we have over 22 Victory group leaders and interns who are passionate to share the gospel and help more people in their walk with the Lord.

Aside from Victory group leaders and interns, God has also blessed us with key people in the area who help us advance God’s kingdom. Most of them are students, businessmen, employees, and parents who are all in faith that the best is yet to come in Mabalacat.

As we celebrate our church’s official launch in Mabalacat, we are in faith that God will give us the grace to raise up more leaders in the area—leaders who are filled with passion to reach the lost and make disciples. We also believe that God, in His time, will provide for the expansion of our new church venue so more people can come and worship the Lord with us.

Together, let us pray for Mabalacat and our growing church in this city!

We are Now in San Antonio, Zambales!

April 8, 2019

We officially launched our church in San Antonio, Zambales on April 7, 2019! We now hold worship services every Sunday at 4:00 p.m. in Victory San Antonio Center located at the 2nd floor of The Money Tree Building in Brgy. Rizal, San Antonio, Zambales.

Here’s how our 99th church outside Metro Manila began.

The idea and burden of planting a church in San Antonio, Zambales came about in 2014. During that time, we were praying and contemplating on where God wanted us to plant another church after Subic. To respond to this call, our lead pastors in the area gathered together and prayed for a clear direction from God.

In 2015, while one of our pastors was visiting a friend in San Antonio, God planted a burden in his heart to pray for that municipality. Since then, he—along with other leaders in the area—sought God in prayer, met with several families, and built relationships with people who eventually helped us establish the church. Now, the church is ready to be used by God in ministering to the people of San Antonio and all of Zambales.

San Antonio is a first-class municipality with many young people who need to hear the Gospel and know their identity and destiny in Christ. Thus, we envision that our new church plant in San Antonio will reach the youth and help train them to be radical leaders for Jesus: future leaders who are passionate about honoring God and making disciples.

Knowing that there is still more to be done in this municipality, we are praying for a great harvest among the youth of San Antonio this year. We are also believing for open doors to minister to the locals through our Victory groups, discipleship classes, and other events. We are also excited to see more students come to know Christ through our campus initiatives and the church plants we hope to do in all the towns of this province.

God is, indeed, doing a mighty work in San Antonio, Zambales. Let us join our new church plant in prayer and believe for greater things as more and more people are coming to know Christ in this municipality.

We are now in Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija!

March 4, 2019

We officially launched our church in Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija on March 3, 2019! Victory in Santa Rosa now meets every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at the ground floor of CityMall Santa Rosa.

Here’s the inspiring story of our 98th provincial church.

In June last year, our Victory group leaders from Cabanatuan—who were originally from Santa Rosa—committed to make disciples in this part of Nueva Ecija. They went from one house to another, preached the gospel, and developed leaders in the area. Eventually, they started ministering not just in Santa Rosa but even in nearby municipalities like San Leonardo and Zaragoza.

Santa Rosa’s strategic location made it a growing education hub in this part of the province, much like the University Belt in Metro Manila. As such, the mall where we regularly hold our services (CityMall Santa Rosa) often gets flocked by students from the two major campuses in this municipality. Seeing the need for us to reach out to the students, we allotted a space in our office where we can effectively engage our future leaders and help them come to know Christ.

Since last year, God has been touching the hearts and changing the lives of the people in Santa Rosa. Currently, there are 130 people attending regularly in our weekly services at CityMall and 40 senior citizen couples gathering every month for Victory group meetings.

Aside from students and senior citizens, more and more people are coming to know Christ and having a new beginning with Him. Lives destroyed by drugs and families broken apart are being restored day by day—and their testimonies are now being used by God to reach the lost and share the gospel.

Victory in Santa Rosa is now praying for additional campus missionaries who will minister to more students in this part of Nueva Ecija. They are in faith that more and more people in the area will have changed lives as well as they grow more in their walk with the Lord.

Together, let us continue to pray for Santa Rosa and our growing church in this municipality!

We are now in Silang, Cavite!

February 25, 2019

We officially launched our church in Silang, Cavite last February 24, 2019! Victory Silang now holds worship services every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. inside the Acacia Hall of Garden Gazebo Events Place in Silang, Cavite.

Here is how our 97th provincial church began.

It all started with a vision from one of our former campus missionaries. The vision was that every municipality along the stretch of Aguinaldo Highway would have a Victory church. This vision was soon followed by yet another vision from one of our pastors about thousands of high school students praising God in that part of Cavite.

In 2017, one of our lead pastors from Victory Tagaytay started holding Victory group meetings with married couples in Silang. After a year, he was called back to Tagaytay so another leader was tapped to handle the church plant.

In April 2018, our church planter, along with our leaders and campus missionaries in Silang started meeting with the students on nearby campuses. They found out that the bulk of campuses in Cavite are actually in Silang, so they engaged the students through different sports activities—which caused more and more students to join. Eventually, the students participating in the activities started inviting not just their classmates and friends but even their parents.

At first, our Victory groups and worship services in Silang would meet at coffee shops and fast food chains—until God provided and gave them a temporary “home” at an events place there. It is an open space, and most of the time, celebrations would coincide with our worship services, but those conditions did not prevent the people from praising and worshipping God.

In August 2018, Victory Silang launched its first worship service at the Garden Gazebo Events Place, where roughly 150-180 people attended. Aside from their weekly Sunday worship services, their activities for students continue to inspire them to lead lives that are pleasing to the Lord.

This year, Victory Silang is praying and believing God for a permanent facility in the area, where they can invite more people to hear the gospel and grow more in faith.

Together, let us continue to pray for Silang and our growing church in this municipality!

We are Now in Culion, Palawan!

February 2, 2019

On January 20, we officially launched our church in Culion, Palawan, which meets every Sunday at 10 a.m. on Lower Balala Road, Brgy. Culango. Here is the inspiring story of how our 95th provincial church began.

Culion is a municipality in the province of Palawan. It is a former leprosarium that was declared leprosy-free by the World Health Organization in 2006.

A couple, who is a surgeon and a pediatrician by profession from Victory Bacoor, was called to serve on the island in 2015. Upon arriving there, the couple came across people from Victory U-Belt and immediately started gathering together in Victory groups. They used to meet once a month, but not long after, their once-a-month meetings turned into weekly gatherings, with more people joining them every time.

As they continued to fellowship with other believers, the couple felt the need for Victory to plant a church there so they could grow together in faith and reach out to more people. With this in mind, the couple went to Manila and consulted with Victory Bacoor and Pastor Jon Naron, who leads our provincial churches.

Victory Bacoor sent a team in 2017 to prepare the way for church planting. The weekly gatherings were initially held in homes, but eventually, they were held in an eatery, whose owner is also a Christian. Though the place was small, it did not hinder them from gathering every week and building each other up in faith.

In March 2017, through the generosity of the members in the area, the construction for Victory Culion’s facility began. In June, they held their first worship service there and started reaching out to the campuses with the help of a team from Victory Bacoor. This year, by God’s grace, it was officially launched as our ninety-fifth church outside Metro Manila.

Together, let us pray for the municipality of Culion in Palawan and believe for breakthroughs as God continues to do mighty works in that province. Let us also continue to build each other up in faith by having fellowship with one another.

You are welcome to join our worship services! Check our directory to find a church near you.

Come and join our church in San Miguel, Bulacan!

March 5, 2018

We thank God for His grace and favor as we officially launch our church in San Miguel, Bulacan this quarter!

San Miguel is a municipality in the province of Bulacan, which is known as a place of historical significance in the Philippines. This municipality used to be a camp of the Katipuneros, and the headquarters of Emilio Aguinaldo. Many political figures also came from here, including Noli Me Tángere financier Máximo Viola and former Manila mayor Alfredo Lim.

We believe that the residents of San Miguel can continue to make a difference in our nation, which is why we reach out to the leaders in this community and the future leaders in campuses such as San Miguel National High School. This school alone has a population of over 10,000 students who have the potential to influence different spheres of our society.

We are thankful to the people from San Miguel who heard the gospel in our Baliwag church and brought it to their hometown in 2015! Multiple Victory groups started to grow since then, until we had to eventually look for a place to hold worship services in the area. By God’s grace, we found an excellent facility where we have been holding services every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. since January 21, 2018. If you have family and friends in the area, you may invite them to our location at the 2nd floor of Dazal Building along Magsaysay Road in San Juan, San Miguel, Bulacan.

Let us continue to pray for our church in San Miguel. Pray for God’s wisdom and strength to be upon the pastors and staff. Believe that our church will continue to be salt and light to the communities in Bulacan through the preaching and demonstration of the gospel.

We look forward to seeing more of God’s expansive work in Central Luzon!

We’re lighting a path in Candelaria!

December 5, 2017

This December 10, we are looking forward to honoring God and making disciples with the grand church launch of our third church in Quezon Province: the bustling municipality of Candelaria!

The second largest industrial center in Quezon after Lucena City, Candelaria is the third-most populous municipality in the province. Its history dates back a couple of centuries to the mid-1800s, and with a population of more than 117,000 spread about across 25 barangays, we are confident that God is doing and will continue to do great things through His children in Candelaria!

We are also looking forward to engaging students in more than 50 elementary, high school, and college campuses in Candelaria, trusting God will use the next generation of nation-builders and leaders from Quezon as we empower them towards leadership, integrity, faith, and excellence.

The grand launch of Victory Calendaria will be on December 10, 10:00 a.m., at the Quezon Premier Hotel in Barangay Masin Sur, Candelaria, Quezon province. Please invite your family and friends to join us as we honor God and make disciples in Quezon!

Bangued, Abra, here we come!

November 3, 2017

This November 26, we are excited to honor God and make disciples with our grand church launch in the heart of Abra: Bangued!

The capital municipality of Abra, Bangued is the fifth-largest municipality in the Cordillera Administrative Region. Despite the large size, Bangued is a closely knit community of people, many of whose families date back to the early settlers of the town in the 1600s. As Abra’s political, economic, and cultural hub, and with almost 50,000 people spread across 31 barangays, we believe Bangued is home to many of Abra’s finest influencers and future nation-changers.

We are also excited to engage students in Bangued! With 24 educational institutions throughout the municipality, we are excited to empower the next generation of the nation’s leaders with leadership, integrity, faith, and excellence. We have Victory group leaders in place, ready to connect to students at the Abra State Institute of Science and Technology and Abra Valley Colleges, and by God’s grace, we have also started Victory groups in the homes of a few of our leaders, and are reaching out to kids, young professionals, and young families.

The grand launch of Victory Bangued will be on November 26, 10:00 a.m., at the third floor of the ADTEMPCO Function Hall, Taft corner La Sala Streets, Zone 4, Bangued, Abra; for updates, you may Like Victory Bangued‘s page on Facebook. Please invite your family and friends to join us as we continue to honor God and make disciples!

Welcome our new church in Bataan: Victory Limay!

December 2, 2016

We are launching our newest church plant, located in the historical province of Bataan. Please welcome Victory Limay!

This fresh church plant started with a ONE 2 ONE meeting in one of the business establishments in the city. From there, a Victory group composed of the company’s employees began meeting regularly, and they grew in number as the months progressed.

The church held its first weekly service in April 2015, at one of the company’s boardrooms! More and more people got wind of the weekly services, so much so that even non-employees would come and attend.

That same year, students began to meet in groups at the Limay Polytechnic College. During the eight weeks that they met, the students became discipled, led their own Victory groups, and eventually became part of the team of volunteers helping establish the church.

Because of the growing number of people joining our church plant, we moved to a bigger location, which is now where Victory Limay currently meets.

On Sunday, December 4, join us as we officially launch Victory Limay! Services will be held every Sunday, 2 PM, at Aguinaldo St., Brgy. Bo. Luz/Kitang 2, in Limay.

Please continue to stand with us in prayer—for greater growth, not just in numbers, but in each church member’s walk with God! We are in faith that as we reach out to more students, employees, and families, more and more lives will be transformed by the saving power of Jesus Christ.

If you have family or friends in the area, invite them to our newest church plant in Bataan—Victory Limay!

Victory Talavera Has Officially Launched!

September 20, 2016

Last September 18, Sunday, we witnessed the grand launch of a new church plant in the heart of Nueva Ecija: Victory Talavera! Our 76th provincial church officially launched on the second floor of Amini Building, located along Maharlika Highway at Zone 6, Maestrang Kikay. Their worship services will be regularly held at this venue every Sunday at 9:30am.

Under the leadership of Pastor Jeff and Niña Roque, church planting efforts started in 2013. With the help of Victory Cabanatuan, the church was able to steadily establish their presence and start engaging the people in the area. By God’s grace, from their previous venue at the second floor of LandBank, Victory Talavera was able to secure a new center at the Amini Building.

A motorcade kicked off the launch, with volunteers and leaders onboard. Bishop Juray Mora, Victory Philippines’ National Director, graced the launch as a guest speaker. Our other churches in Central Luzon also came to celebrate with Victory Talavera.

Conveniently located along the busy thoroughfare of Maharlika Highway, the Amini Building is accessible and easily identifiable to many Talavera residents. Because it intersects with a lot of access points from different parts of Central Luzon, Victory Talavera is situated at a place that makes it easy to engage and invite people to the church.

Let us continue to pray for open doors and open hearts, so that more disciples and leaders will be raised for God’s glory. Together, let us intercede for this new church plant’s leadership team, volunteers and staff as they continue to advance God’s kingdom in this part of the Philippines.

Victory is Now in Agoo!

September 2, 2016

Located at the province of La Union in Ilocos, Agoo is one of the established Spanish settlements in the region. It is home to the Dinengdeng Festival and is a bustling hub of activity due to its accessibility via the National Highway.

Under the leadership of Pastor Homer Bumanglag, Victory Agoo was officially launched last year in October at the Victory Agoo center located along the National Highway in Santa Barbara, La Union. Mayor Sandra Eriguel and Vice Mayor Henry Balbin graced the launch, along with the leaders and pastors of our other Victory centers. Regular worship services are now held at this venue every Sunday at 10 am.

We are expectant at what God will do in and through this church plant as more and more people get to hear the gospel in Agoo. Soon, the center will also hold regular KIDS church activities at the KIDS church room currently being constructed. Because reaching the next generation is also important for our leaders there, Every Nation Campus Agoo regularly conducts discipleship meetings and events to engage the youth in the area, and the nearby campuses.

Together, let us intercede for our pastors, Victory group leaders and volunteers in Victory Agoo as they advance God’s kingdom in this part of the Philippines. We also encourage you to invite your friends and family in the area to attend Victory Agoo’s worship services soon. We are in faith that as God allows this church to grow in number, He will also cause growth in the spiritual lives of families, students and young professionals in La Union.

Another Victory Church in Nueva Ecija to Launch Soon

August 24, 2016

Church planting efforts are intensifying in Nueva Ecija as we continue to establish more churches there. Recently, we announced the launch of Victory Cabanatuan’s new worship service at SM City Cabanatuan. Now, we’re excited to honor God and make disciples in Talavera, Nueva Ecija!

Victory Talavera recently moved to its new location at the second floor of Amini Building, located along Maharlika Highway at Zone 6, Maestrang Kikay. Previously located at the second floor of LandBank near the plaza and the Municipal Hall, Victory Talavera will officially launch on September 18, Sunday.

Led by the leadership team of Victory Cabanatuan, the church conducted their first Sunday service at the new building just last month, July 24, with an overflow of attendees and volunteers. Sunday worship services will be regularly held at this new venue, at 9:30 am, with Kids Church happening simultaneously.

Talavera is a municipality in Nueva Ecija, with many national roads passing through it. Due to its central location, it is one of the pivotal transport points in Central Luzon. We are in faith that God will cause amazing things to happen to Talavera’s inhabitants as the church makes it possible for more people to be reached out and discipled.

Welcome, Victory General Mariano Alvarez!

August 5, 2016

Join us this Sunday as we launch our 75th Victory church plant: Victory Gen. Mariano Alvarez!

From its humble beginnings as one initial Victory group that met here in June of 2015, our community has grown to 15 Victory groups that now meet in commercial establishments and campuses—specifically, the University of Perpetual Help.

“We started a monthly gathering in the University of Perpetual Help,” says Arnel Gallardo, our lead pastor in this church plant, “with an average of 120 attendees. More than 25 Victory groups and Victory group leaders were raised from those monthly meetings.”

Indeed, we make it a point to reach the campuses of the cities where we plant churches, so we can train and empower the next generation of leaders to make disciples.

Soon enough, our church plant steadily grew, and began holding worship services in Portal Mall. We are expectant and excited for more families, campuses, and businesses to be reached with the gospel.

Join us this Sunday, August 7, at 10 AM, at the Arena, in Portal Mall, for the grand launch of Victory Gen. Mariano Alvarez! Invite your family and friends!

Victory Launches New Carmona Church

July 8, 2016

Last June 12, Sunday, we witnessed the grand launch of a new church plant in the province of Cavite: Victory Carmona.

Our 74th Victory provincial church officially launched on the third floor of the 88 Building, located in Barangay Maduya, Carmona. It will have its regular weekly services every Sunday at 10:30 am.

Scouting for the church’s venue began last year with the team of Pastor Noel Bibat at its helm. By God’s grace, they were able to secure a location last June 2015. Conveniently located along the busy thoroughfare of Governor’s Drive, the 88 Building is accessible and easily identifiable to many Carmona residents. Restaurants, banks, shops, and service centers can be found in the building, attracting a lot of customers and passersby to the venue. Because of its easily identifiable location and the numerous establishments in the area, Victory Carmona is situated at a place that makes it easy to engage and invite people to the church.

Victory Las Piñas to begin regular weekly services in July

June 22, 2016

We are excited to let you all know that Victory Las Piñas will begin its regular weekly worship services, starting on July 3, 2016!

Last June 5, we held our first worship services at SM Southmall, located along the main thoroughfare of Alabang-Zapote. Two services at 9am and 11am welcomed hundreds of residents from villages and subdivisions in the area, as well as students and workers from nearby universities and offices.

Pastor Sonny and his team started scouting for a venue last year. After several months, God provided a venue in SM Southmall. Victory Las Piñas’s grand launch on July 3, Sunday, will be held at Cinema 6 on the third level of the mall. This Metro Manila location will hold worship services at 9AM and 11AM.

As Victory Las Piñas heeds the call to honor God and make disciples in the South, let us intercede and believe God for open doors to families, campuses and business establishments, so we can witness more Filipinos in this city come to the saving knowledge of Jesus.

Reaching the Nation Together, One City at a Time!

August 6, 2015

On July 29, 186 pastors and leaders from Victory churches from all over the Philippines gathered at the Every Nation building for a time of equipping and fellowship at the National Church Planting Summit.

Pastor Steve Murrell and Bishop Juray Mora took time to equip and encourage our provincial pastors and leaders at our National Church Planting Summit last July 29.

Please stand with us in prayer! We are excited for local disciples to be raised in these areas, who will then disciple their families, friends, colleagues, and campuses!

Invite your family and friends at a Victory center nearest you! We are currently in fifteen congregations in Metro Manila, and sixty-four churches across the Philippines.

Welcome, Victory Silay!

March 27, 2015

We have launched a new church in beautiful Silay City in Negros Occidental!

“Silay is a cultural hub,” says Victory Silay lead pastor Jason Ferrer. “It is one of only two museum cities in the Philippines. We plan to disciple and train leaders while maintaining respect to what they so value, which is culture.”

When it comes to honoring God and making disciples, it helps to think big because we serve a big God. According to Pastor Jason, “We believe Silay will serve as the gateway to planting more churches in the northern part of the province.”

Leaders from Victory Silay apply lessons they’ve learned in Making Disciples class

“We hope to start a second service on Sundays by June 2015,” he adds. “We’re also looking to establish a presence in bigger campuses like the Silay Institute and Sta. Teresita Academy. In five years, we hope to birth churches in Victorias City and Cadiz City.”

Victory Silay holds its Sunday services at 4 PM at the second floor of the Baldevia Building, Zamora Street corner Gamboa Street, Silay City, Negros Occidental. Weekly prayer meetings are scheduled on Thursdays at 6:30 PM and youth services take place on Saturdays at 3 PM.

We are excited for Victory Silay! Please pray with us for opportunities to reach out to families, businesses, and campuses in the city they call “The Paris of Negros.”

See you at the Baldevia Building every Sunday, at 4 PM! Invite your family and friends to join us, too!

Welcome, Victory Laoag-Centro!

November 24, 2012

Join us in welcoming Victory Laoag-Centro, our second Victory church in Laoag, Ilocos Norte!

Our newest church plant in Northern Luzon was launched with over 400 people in attendance. Victory Laoag and our other Northern Luzon churches helped plant this fresh church plant in the capital city of Ilocos Norte.

Victory Laoag-Centro is located right in the heart of Laoag, surrounded by different business establishments, shopping malls, and department stores.

Twenty-six Victory groups meet in different venues across the city, including the Ilocos Norte National High School and Ilocos Norte College of Arts and Trade. Please pray with us for more businessmen, professionals, and families to be reached out.

Aside from the Ilocos Norte National High School, the church is also in close proximity to four other campuses in the area: Mariano Marcos State University, the Holy Spirit Academy of Laoag, the Divine Word College of Laoag, and AMA Computer College. We are in faith that more and more students will be reached for Jesus, and make a difference in their campuses!

Please believe with us that more and more of our Ilocano brothers and sisters will experience the saving grace of Christ! And if you or your family members are in Laoag, join us every Sunday, 4 PM, at the 2nd floor of Bismonte Building in Laoag City.

Victory in the Christmas City

July 20, 2012

July 1 marked the official launch of Victory City of San Fernando, our second Victory church in Pampanga. The capital city of Pampanga is known as the “Christmas Capital of the Philippines” because of its large and colorful giant lanterns. Surely, we have many reasons to celebrate!

Victory City of San Fernando Victory groups — Victory City of San Fernando met in different locations before finally settling in their current location.

Plans for this church plant in the heart of Central Luzon began in 2007. Different church members from Victory Angeles had already been praying for a new church plant in Pampanga. Little did they know that their prayers—made in the very venue that would one day be the site of their church—would bear fruit years later. “God showed His faithfulness by answering their prayers through the church plant,” Jerome Gutierrez, Victory City of San Fernando’s lead pastor, recounts.

What started with four Victory group leaders less than a year ago grew to 230 members being active in discipleship and volunteer ministries. “We never missed a Sunday na walang first timer,” Dolly Yambing, one of Victory City of San Fernando’s ushering ministry volunteers, shares. “At least eight to ten new people would walk in (the service).” None of them were invited by anybody already attending.

As a result, more and more Kapampangans were introduced to Jesus and shared the gospel in their respective communities.

Our Victory churches in Bulacan, as well as in neighboring Angeles and Olongapo, helped establish Victory City of San Fernando. Volunteers from Victory Fort Bonifacio and Victory Pioneer also pitched in.

“(I’m amazed at the) joint efforts of the Victory family,” Bing Tajon, one of Victory City of San Fernando’s leaders, shares. “Everyone collaborated and gave their time, resources, and effort to help us.”

Victory City of San Fernando Family Fun Day — This church plant held activities like Family Fun Day to help build relationships with each other.

Victory City of San Fernando is setting its sights on planting churches in nearby municipalities namely, Apalit, Arayat, Lubao, and Mabalacat. Pray with us for more opportunities to reach the families, campuses, business establishments, and government institutions in the City of San Fernando. We look forward to a great harvest in this city church in Pampanga!

If you have family or friends who live in the vicinity, be sure to invite them to Victory City of San Fernando! Check out our directory for more details.

Parangalan taya ing Dios at magdisipulo tamu king siyudad ning San Fernando! (Let’s honor God and make disciples in the City of San Fernando!)

Kablaaw Para iti Victory Cauayan!

December 9, 2011

On Sunday, December 11, 2011, we’re officially launching our newest Victory church in Northern Luzon: Victory Cauayan!

Cauayan City, located right in the heart of the province, is considered the Agro-Industrial Capital of Cagayan Valley. It is also a bustling city, being the commercial center of Isabela. “It is a great privilege to be called by God to work in this harvest field and have it as our inheritance,” Pastor Jay Medrano, lead pastor of Victory Cauayan, shares.

Victory Cauayan is our second Victory location in the Isabela region. Victory Santiago and Victory Tuguegarao helped establish this fresh church plant. Services were first held in July 2010 at the Amity Hotel in Cauayan City.

Currently, thirteen Victory groups meet in different venues, most of which are in the campuses. In fact, there have been great opportunities to share the gospel to the students and staff of the University of Perpetual Help System-Isabela.

A number of instructors and school officials are also part of Victory. One of them, Joy Aldeosa, was discipled when she was in her second year at Our Lady of the Pillar’s College. Now, she’s a college instructor, and is taking an active role in reaching her students and co-teachers. She’s started doing ONE 2 ONE with her students and plugging them in Victory groups.

We’re excited for more students, families, and businesspeople to be discipled in this city! Pray with us for growth not just in numbers, but in the lives of the people we’re reaching. Pray also for more leaders to help equip and establish spiritual foundations in the locals.

Join us on Sunday, December 11, as we launch Victory Cauayan! See you at the fourth floor of OH Commercial Building, Cabatuan Road, Cauayan City. It’s located across Dr. Ester Garcia Hospital. Our opening service starts at 3 PM. Invite your family and friends to celebrate with us!

Kablaaw para iti Victory Cauayan! Maragsakan kami iti baru nga kapamilya ken simbaan dita Isabela. Dios iti agngina! (Congratulations, Victory Cauayan! We are glad to have a new member of our spiritual family in Isabela. God bless!)

Victory is one church in multiple locations in Metro Manila. We’re also located in various provinces across the Philippines. See you at our services!

Victory Tagum and the Siopao

October 14, 2011

Who would have thought that siopao can be instrumental in the saving of many lives?

Ask Pastor Manny Mintal, the senior pastor of our Victory Tagum church plant. Through the power of God and His Word—plus Pastor Manny’s delicious home-cooked siopao—the team of church planters were able to connect with several students in Tagum, Davao, and eventually led them to having a relationship with God.

What started as an outreach project in July 2010 gave birth to a fruitful church plant right in the capital province of Davao del Norte. From outreach activities in nearby parks and “siopao outreaches” in the campuses, the growing church began to meet over merienda in carinderias until they eventually settled in their current Victory center.

Some of the students Victory Tagum has reached out to

On October 2011, Victory Tagum experienced a milestone, with their formal launch happening at the Town Country Plaza in Sobrecarey Street, Tagum, Davao.

Currently, several Victory groups are meeting in various venues in Tagum. More and more are going through ONE 2 ONE, while several others have already gone through Victory Weekend. Among the campuses in their vicinity, Victory Tagum is focusing its efforts on the University of Mindanao and the Magugpo Pilot Imelda Elementary School.

Indeed, greater things are up ahead for Victory Tagum! Join us as we pray for the campuses within their area and for more open doors to share the Word of God. Let’s also cover Victory Tagum in prayer, for growth and maturity of the church and of the current Victory groups.

Victory Tagum is one among a group of Victory churches in the Philippines. It holds a weekly Sunday service at 10AM at the Town Country Plaza, Sobrecarey corner Pioneer Street. If you know anyone in the area, don’t forget to let them know about our newest church in Tagum!
