Getting Back to the Book of ACTS
HOME BIBLE STUDIES
If you're look for our church building, you won't find it. Victory Life Apostolic exists to take the gospel of Jesus Christ beyond the walls and into the streets—preaching repentance, baptizing in His name, and leading souls to the infilling of the Holy Ghost, as in Acts 2:38. We are committed to going where people are, making disciples, and demonstrating the power of God through prayer, truth, and Spirit-led ministry.

Why We Changed Our Name from Victory Life Center to Victory Life Apostolic:
We want to share something important with you about our church family. After much prayer and seeking God’s direction, we felt led to update our assembly name. What was once Victory Life Center is now Victory Life Apostolic Church.
This change is not just about a new sign or a new look—it’s about clarity of identity and mission.
Victory Life remains at the heart of who we are—because in Christ we walk in victory, and His life flows through us.
Apostolic declares our faith and doctrine. We stand firmly on the foundation of the Apostles’ teaching (Acts 2:42), proclaiming the oneness of God, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
Church reminds us that we are not just a center, but a body—a living, called-out assembly of believers committed to loving God, serving people, and making disciples.
This name better reflects who we are, what we believe, and where God is leading us. We are not changing direction—we’re sharpening focus. Our mission is the same: to be a place where lives are transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.
We invite you to continue this journey with us as Victory Life Apostolic Church—a place of truth, love, and Spirit-filled power.

"The Church is not a building made with brick and mortar—it is the people of God. We are the Church, the living Body of Christ, called out of darkness into His marvelous light. Buildings may provide a place to gather, but they do not define who we are. The Church lives wherever God's people gather in His name and walk in His Spirit.
The Church should be a place where lives are transformed, miracles happen, chains are broken, and victory is found. It should be a refuge for the weary, hope for the broken, and a place where those engaged in spiritual battles discover the answers found only in Jesus Christ.
Sadly, I have visited churches where I left feeling more burdened than when I arrived. Instead of experiencing grace, healing, and restoration, I encountered condemnation and judgment—often from those entrusted with ministering to God's people. That should never be the testimony of Christ's Church.
Having served in ministry for more than 33 years, I have witnessed and heard things within the Church that should grieve every believer. Those experiences have only strengthened my commitment to preach the Word of God in truth while ministering it in love. Truth without love can wound, and love without truth cannot set people free. The gospel requires both.
My desire has never been to rule over people but to serve them. Jesus did not call us to lord over His flock but to shepherd it with humility, compassion, and integrity. People do not need to be controlled; they need to be loved. They need shepherds who will lead them to Christ, encourage them in their walk, and faithfully point them to the transforming power of His Word and His Spirit.
May everything we do always exalt Jesus Christ, for this is His Church, His people, His Kingdom, and His glory alone."
— Dr. Gary Wayne Lones
