THE BEGINNING

On June 11, 1961, Rev. Abner J. Thompson, founded the Victory Missionary Baptist Church under his pastorate.

Upon Reverend Thompson’s retirement, the church called Dr. Robert E. Fowler, Sr., November 12, 1996, who served as the senior pastor until his passing May 19, 2020.

December 31, 2021, Sean A. Taylor gave his inaugural message as the newly appointed senior pastor.

Today, Victory hosts two-weekend and one-weekday services accompanied by ministries to impact the church, family, and community. Together we are committed to the unity of the community.
