Our Story

A Church Built on
the Word of God

Victory Baptist Church is an independent, fundamental Baptist church located in the heart of Milton, Florida. For decades we have been committed above all else to one thing — faithfully preaching the whole counsel of God's Word to the people of this community.

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God, and that it has the answer to every question life can throw at you.

Whether you've been walking with the Lord for decades or you've never set foot inside a church, you are welcome here. Come as you are. We're saving you a seat.

Faithful Then.
Faithful Now.

God has been writing this story long before any of us arrived. Here are some of the chapters along the way.

1976

Victory Baptist Church Is Founded

Under the vision and leadership of Dr. Thomas Woodward, Victory Baptist Church holds its first service in Milton, Florida. Dr. Woodward would go on to faithfully shepherd the congregation for nearly two decades, laying a foundation of Biblical conviction and Gospel ministry that endures to this day.

1984

Victory Baptist Press is established to print and distribute the Word of God. Over the decades the press would go on to distribute millions of Bibles and Scripture portions in twelve languages across thirty-four countries and all fifty states.

1994

Pastor Tim Fellure Accepts the Call

In May 1994, the Lord called the church's founding pastor, Dr. Thomas Woodward, home to glory. Just four days before his passing — upon Dr. Woodward's own recommendation — the church extended a call to Tim Fellure. He accepted, and has faithfully shepherded Victory Baptist Church ever since.

2026

VBC Celebrates 50 Years

Victory Baptist Church marks half a century of God's faithfulness in Milton, Florida. What began with a small group of believers in 1976 has grown into a thriving church family — still preaching the same Gospel, still trusting the same God.

Our Heart

Everything we do flows from these convictions. They are not programs — they are who we are.

The Word

We believe the Bible is God's inspired, inerrant Word — our final authority for faith and life. Every sermon, every decision, every ministry begins and ends here.

The Gospel

The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just what we believe — it is the reason we exist. We proclaim it boldly, clearly, and without compromise.

The Church

We are not a social club or an event venue — we are a family. The local church is God's plan A for reaching the world, and we take that calling seriously.
