About us
Victory Baptist Church was established in December of 1992 to reach families in Columbia with the good news of Jesus Christ. Victory is an independent Bible-believing baptist church, made up of local Chrisitan families and individuals who love the Lord and care about people. Our goal is to reach Columbia one family at time and the world through our faithful missionaries. We have many ministries including but not limited to: soul-winning/visitation, nursing home ministry, Sunday school, nursery for all services, Jr. Church, an exciting youth group, adult choir, children's choir, and orchestra. We invite you to join and serve the Lord with us. We see our church as a place to worship God, find friends, and become a part of the family.

What we believe
​
SCRIPTURES
We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. We further accept the Textus Receptus manuscripts from which came the King James Bible, and accept the King James Bible as God's divinely preserved Word of God for the English speaking world
​
TRINITY
We believe that God is a person, eternally existing as a Trinity, manifesting Himself in three Persons: God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We further believe that these three are one God, but separate in personality and work.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, eternally existing yet born of a virgin. Being God, He lived a sinless life, whose death on the cross was both sufficient and substitutionary for the sins of the whole world. After making atonement for the sins of the world, with His own blood, He ascended into Heaven with a glorified body where He is seated at the right hand of the Father as Head of the Church, making intercession for the saints as our High Priest.
​
SALVATION
We believe that man is lost in sin and must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. We believe that for lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential. The salvation of a man's soul is by grace alone through personal faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross.
CHURCH
We believe that the local church is a group of believers baptized in water; assembled together for edification, exhortation, and evangelism as commanded by Christ in the Great Commission; preaching the gospel to every creature. We believe God's program today is centered in the local New Testament church, which is independent and missionary minded.
SECOND COMING
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ Himself is coming again in the air at any moment to rapture His church and to reward their service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a seven year period called the Tribulation, after which Christ shall return visibly to the earth with His saints to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this, the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God forever, while believers spend eternity in the fullness of joy in Heaven with the Lord.
