Victory Baptist Church is an independent Baptist church located in Washington, Georgia.
Our Purpose:
We are endeavoring to build the church of the living God one individual at a time through the preaching and teaching of God's Word, the Bible. We use the Authorized (King James) Version of the Scriptures in all our services and classes.
Our Pattern:
As a local church, we are attempting to reach our community with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, as outlined in the New Testament. At the same time, we are attempting to reach around the world through our ministry of missionaries that we support. Our aim is to see people come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Our Preaching:
We preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who was crucified, risen, and is coming again! Salvation is by grace through faith as the Word of God declares (Ephesians 2:8-9). We preach that God has instituted the local church to bring Christians into maturity in Christ, and we also believe that it is our responsibility to train believers to worship and serve the Lord Jesus Christ. To that end, we engage in the work of discipling Christians to grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ through Sunday School, worship services, and the various activities of the church.
Our Prayer:
Our most sincere prayer is that you will repent and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior if you have not already done so.
