1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

Victory's Core Values
- Christ centered: the foundation of all we say and do is directed and governed by the word of God.
​
- People focused: With Christ as our example, we strive to connect people of all ages and walks of life as we gather collectively.
​
- Healthy relationships: Knowing that words mean little if not accompanied by actions we resolve conflict in a way that honors scripture and reflects God’s love as we bring individuals together to function as one in the body of Christ through communication, encouragement and acceptance.
​
- Compassionate outreach: Our goal is to bring the message of the Gospel as we clothe the naked, feed the hungry, aide the poor, and minister to the lost.
​
- Healing: We believe God still heals spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally and financially for with Him nothing is impossible.
​
- Prayer Focused: We believe prayer is our lifeline to communicate openly with our Creator as we give thanks, petition needs, seek His heart and intercede for the world around us.
​
- Spirit led worship: Worship is an attitude and lifestyle geared toward glorifying God in Spirit and Truth seeking to reach Gods' heart and align with His will.
​
- Heart of Service: Living a life dedicated to Christ and using the gifts He has given us by serving through God’s grace and mercy to build up, lead and serve others, as we fulfill God’s purpose.
​
- Effective mentorship: Building meaningful friendships while encouraging and guiding others through Christ as we grow in our personal relationships with God
16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God
These are nonnegotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches follow to. This list is derived from the official Statement of Fundamental Truths.
1. WE BELIEVE...The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and
plan for mankind. 2 Timothy 3:15-17
2. WE BELIEVE...There is only One True God–revealed in three persons...Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity). Deuteronomy 6:4,
Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14
3. WE BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both
human and divine. Matthew 1:23
4. WE BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and
death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. Romans 5:12-19
5. WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through
'Salvation' (accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin). [1 of 4 cardinal
doctrines of the A/G] John 3:16, 1 John 1:9
6. WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion
after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy
Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering
and death for our salvation. Mark 16:16, 1 Corinthians 11:26
7. WE BELIEVE...the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following
Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it
did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
8. WE BELIEVE... The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is
‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced
throughout Acts and the Epistles.
9. WE BELIEVE...Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a
declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of
separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become
more Christlike.
10. WE BELIEVE...The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin.
We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who,
throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of
religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
11. WE BELIEVE...A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry
Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must
commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other
believers, and to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church.
12. WE BELIEVE...Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and
is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our
sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
13. WE BELIEVE...in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to
His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all
believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with
the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
14. WE BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His
saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for
1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and
the establishment of universal peace.
15. WE BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected
Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment
in a punishing lake of fire.
16. WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth
that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We
will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on
Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
