MINISTRIES

children

Victory International is raising up the church of tomorrow--teaching children about Jesus and having a relationship with Him. Children’s Church is offered for preschoolers through age 9. For children ages 0-3 parents can be with their children (if needed) in a separate room facing the sanctuary where they can watch and listen to the service. Special events like Vacation Bible School and the Harvest Festival connect families together.

transport

We provide transportation for those needing a ride within a two mile radius of the church. Rides are provided for Sunday morning service at 10:30 a.m. and Friday youth service at 7:00 p.m. Call the church (873-2728) and give your name, phone number, location and number of people. You will be contacted by phone with pickup information. Don't let not having your own ride to church keep you from coming to Victory International.

youth

Victory International has an energetic multi-cultural and multi-racial youth ministry. Throughout the year, they conduct special outreach events, attend state and local conferences, and participate in ministries of the church. The group is led by a team of dedicated adults that seek to minister to the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of our youth.

There are opportunities for the men of Victory International to fellowship and serve. Every Saturday at 8:00 AM the men have a prayer meeting. The first Saturday of each month we have a men's breakfast hosted by men. They also participate in area men's events such as the annual Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Conference and retreats. On occasion, they also get together for a maintenance work day at the church.

women

The women of Victory International Assembly of God serve in a variety of ministries within the church and community. Throughout the year they gather for fellowship, encouragement, special events and sometimes just for fun. They are crucial to the success of our church's fellowship, services and outreach events. Our Women’s Ministry is both an opportunity to minister to others as well as receive social, emotional and spiritual support.

worship

The Worship Team is composed of musicians who lead the congregation in times of praising God through biblical forms such as: singing, clapping, dancing, and vocalizing energetic worship. Included in the team are African musicians who regularly sing in Kinyarwanda and Swahili.

SECURE

ON-LINE GIVING

GIVING

changes you

We believe that GIVING is a recognition that everything we have comes from God. This practice checks our greed, promotes personal discipline, testifies to our faith, and spreads God’s work in the world. Not having cash on hand doesn't have to hold you back. Experience what obedience in giving will do in your life, in Buffalo and the world.

Buffalo Maynmar Mission Church

In 2008 a group of Burmese Chin leaders contacted Pastor Ron Thorington and asked to meet with him to discuss using the church building for a place to worship. When Pastor Ron met with them he discovered that they not only wanted to use the church building but also needed a pastor.

They asked Pastor Ron if he would consider being their pastor. For 12 years the Burmese have had weekly services in the church and have conducted several Chin conferences at Victory International. They have joined with other churches at Victory for combined services.

This church now has a Burmese pastor. Pastor Thong Hu was officially installed by Pastor Ron Thorington on September 24, 2016.
