History

Victory Baptist Church began September 7, 1975 in the community of Macedonia, South Carolina.  One acre from an old cornfield was given to the church to place a doublewide trailer as a place of worship.  Victory called its first full time pastor in 1976.  Church attendance grew and the church was given two more acres to start building a sanctuary and learning center on August 7, 1976.  Within a year and six months the new sanctuary was finished and we had our first service inside on Easter Morning.  The doublewide trailer that was used for worship services became our parsonage.

Through the years Victory Baptist Church has had great times of joy together as well as great times of sorrow, but God was always there to show us His love and mercy.  During the year of 1997 Victory added its second staff position, Church Secretary, and again in 1998 with its third, Youth Pastor.  Attendance was growing so greatly we had to have two morning services.  That same year we voted to start building a new sanctuary and an additional one and one fourth acre was given to the church to make room for the new sanctuary and social hall.  The project took two years with much hard work and the help of many other churches.

The old church was turned into the youth center and has been opened to the community as a place for anyone to come and have good clean fun.  In July of 2005 Victory added it’s fourth staff position, Associate Pastor, to help with the growing need for outreach ministries.   Today Victory Baptist Church is a church that strives to teach the Word of God with love and boldness and to proclaim Christ our King.  Who would have ever guessed that God was going to work His wonders in the middle of an old cornfield?
