About Us

At Victory Church in Nixa, Missouri, our vision is simple: to help people encounter Jesus Christ daily, leading to a life of victory.

Not a victory we strive for—a victory we live from. Jesus already won. We're called to walk in it.

We are a presence-driven, Christ-centered church. Not built on personality, performance, or popularity, but on the presence of God and the lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus still saves, heals, delivers, and restores lives today.

And we don't just gather people—we make disciples. We want to see people know Jesus, grow in His Word, and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. We want to see them find freedom and become who God created them to be.

Whether you're a new believer, a longtime follower of Jesus, or exploring faith for the first time, there's a place for you at Victory Church in Nixa.

You're welcome here. Encounter Jesus. Live in victory.

Our Values

Values are the Spirit-given convictions that define who we are, guide how we lead, and protect where we're going. Vision tells us where we're headed. Values tell us who we'll be when we get there. They are not suggestions. They are not preferences. They are the non-negotiables we refuse to trade—no matter the pressure, the season, or the cost.


Holiness

COME IN

We simply want to be like Jesus—holy, set apart unto God, and fully surrendered to the Refiner’s fire. We know the closer we get to Him, the more we become like Him. Holiness is found in the presence of God. Our heart’s cry is this: “Make me like You, Jesus! Make me holy!” Romans 6:19, 1 Peter 1:15-16, Hebrews 12:14, Revelations 4:8, 2 Timothy 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8



Health

LEADERS GO FIRST

We remain healthy by prioritizing daily personal encounters with God, pursuing purity, putting family first, and protecting our sabbath so we can lead others in health.

Matthew 6:33, Proverbs 3:5-8, Exodus 33:14, Matthew 11:28–29, Mark 6:31, Psalm 23:2–3, 3 John 1:2


Honor

GOVERNED BY HONOR

Honor reflects Heaven’s value. Honor protects freedom, creates safe places and reflects a Kingdom identity. Honor is about self-control not control. 1 Samuel 2:30, Romans 12:10, 1 Peter 2:17, Matthew 4:1-11, Isaiah 29:13, Mark 6:1-6, Proverbs 3:9-10


Forgiveness

IT’S NOT OPTIONAL

We love mercy, so we show mercy. Forgiveness is for you, not for them. There is no spiritual growth without forgiveness. Ephesians 4:32, Matthew 6:14-15, Colossians 3:13



Authenticity

WE DON’T DO FAKE

We disciple through real relationships. We create an atmosphere for people to be open and honest by leading in vulnerability and transparency. 2 Cor. 11:27-30, 2 Cor. 12:9



Trust

LEAN INTO AWKWARD

We build the trust, character and relationships of tomorrow by engaging in the tough conversations today. Matthew 18:15-20, Matthew 5:24



Excellence

GIVE YOUR ALL

We represent the Lord by doing the best we can with what we have. Colossians 3:23-24, Daniel 6:3, Exodus 31:1-11



Generosity

NO STRINGS ATTACHED

We don’t give to get. We give our time, treasure and talents from a heart of love with pure motives. Acts 20:35, 1 Timothy 6:18-19, 2 Corinthians 9:7, Romans 13:8



Communication

DOWNSHIFT AND CLARIFY

We choose to slow down and communicate clearly today, so that we can move forward faster tomorrow. Romans 14:19, James 1:19


Empowerment

OUR HEART, YOUR MIND

We empower those with our heart to lead with their mind. We trade empowerment for teachability and humility. Exodus 18:13-26, James 4:10, Psalm 25:9


Feedback

HEAR HEAR

We believe healthy feedback is a 2 way street. We welcome opportunities to hear what is in your heart, and we commit to clarifying what is in ours. Proverbs 1:5, Proverbs 19:20, James 1:19


Celebration

PUT IT ON THE BOARD

If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong! We make time to celebrate the little wins that create a big victory. Romans 15:5-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:16, Hebrews 10:24-25



Stewardship

THE THIRD OPTION

We manage Heaven’s resources for the Father’s business. The heart’s cry of a good steward is, “It will never be mine; it will always be Yours!” When given the choice between an ownership or employment mentality, we choose the third option—stewardship.

Matthew 25:14-30, 1 Kings 3:16-28, Psalms 24:1



Gratitude

IT’S A LIFESTYLE

Gratitude pleases the Lord. No matter what we face – valleys or mountaintops – gratitude is the answer. Gratitude is the heart posture that seeks in all things to be thankful and glorify the Lord, because it brings you and keeps you in the presence and favor of the Lord. Because He first loved us, we will forever be grateful! Hebrews 12:25-29, Romans 1:21-25, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, Psalm 30:1-12, Psalm 5:11-12, Psalm 28:7, Luke 17:11-19, Colossians 2:6-7, Psalm 100:1-5


Our Unique Characteristics

Our Unique Characteristics reflect the God-given DNA, identity, and assignment of Victory Church. They reveal the why behind our calling—who God has formed us to be, why He planted us in this region, and the specific assignment He has entrusted to this house.

These characteristics shape our culture, focus our ministry, and keep us faithful to the vision and calling God has given Victory Church.

  • We Are a Presence-Driven & Christ-Centered Church

    PRESENCE-DRIVEN — Everything Starts With Him


    We are not built on a brand, a personality, or a platform—we are built on the presence of God and the lordship of Jesus Christ. Everything we do flows from intimacy with Him. Christ is the Head of the Church and the unshakable foundation of our faith.

    Exodus 33:13–14; Psalm 105:4; Colossians 1:18; 1 Corinthians 3:11

  • We Are a House of Prayer, Consumed with Zeal

    PRAYER-FUELED — PRAYER IS THE ENGINE, NOT THE EVENT


    Zeal for His house has consumed us.

    We are not casual about His presence. We watch in prayer for it. We burn for it. Prayer is not a

    slot in the service — it’s the engine of the house. We don’t work and then pray. We pray, and we

    move from there. Prayer is how we host His presence and steward His glory.

    And hear this: we don’t pray for victory. We pray from it.

    We don’t pray as defeated people trying to convince God to move. We pray as sons and

    daughters standing in Christ’s finished work, enforcing His victory and welcoming His Kingdom

    on earth.

    This is not striving. This is standing. Consumed with zeal. Contending from His victory. Carrying

    the fire — and refusing to let it go out.

    Colossians 4:2; John 2:17; Isaiah 56:7; Mark 11:17; Colossians 2:15; Luke 10:19; Habakkuk 3:2; Romans 12:11

  • We Pursue Freedom Through Repentance, Healing & Deliverance

    FREEDOM-FOCUSED — Wholeness Is Our Inheritance


    We believe Jesus still heals, delivers, and restores. Freedom begins with repentance and leads to wholeness—spirit, soul, and body. He came to bind up the brokenhearted, set captives free, break oppression, and bring total restoration. Healing and deliverance are not rare events; they are the inheritance of every believer. Isaiah 61:1–3 , Isaiah 53:4–5, Matthew 8:16–17, Matthew 11:5, Luke 4:18, Acts 3:19, John 8:36, James 5:14–16 , 1 Peter 2:24

  • We Are Led & Empowered by the Holy Spirit

    SPIRIT-EMPOWERED — Led by the Spirit, Not Trends


    We follow the voice of the Holy Spirit—not trends, opinions, or cultural currents. He empowers us, transforms us, and produces His fruit in our lives. His gifts are active and pursued in love to strengthen the Church and advance the Kingdom. John 16:13; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22–25; 1 Corinthians 12:7–10; 1 Corinthians 14:1–5, 12, 26

  • We Walk in Our Identity as Sons & Daughters

    SONS & DAUGHTERS — Abide, Don’t Strive


    We reject the orphan spirit and live as sons and daughters—secure, accepted, complete in Christ, and seated with Him in heavenly places. We abide in Him rather than strive for Him. Our confidence flows from our identity in Christ—we fight not for victory, but from victory. Romans 8:15–17, Galatians 4:6–7, Ephesians 2:6, John 15:5, Colossians 2:9–10

  • We Love & Serve Like Jesus

    SERVING — We Look Most Like Jesus When We Serve


    Love is our foundation. We serve with humility, compassion, and sacrifice—because love always moves beyond words into action. We are never more like Jesus than when we serve. Servanthood is not just something we do; it is who we are as followers of Jesus. Matthew 22:37–39; Mark 10:45; John 13:14–17

  • We Evangelize & Make Disciples

    DISCIPLE-MAKING — We Multiply, Not Just Gather


    We do not chase decisions—we make disciples. We boldly preach Jesus and walk with people into lasting transformation. Success is not measured by attendance but by spiritual maturity and multiplication. Matthew 28:19–20; Ephesians 4:12–13; Colossians 1:28–29

  • We Walk in Dominion & Authority

    DOMINION-MINDED — We Fight From Victory, Not For It


    From the beginning, God created humanity to walk in dominion (Genesis 1:26–28)—to represent His rule, steward His creation, and advance His Kingdom. In Christ, that original mandate is restored. We are seated with Him and walk in Kingdom authority. Empowered by the Spirit, we confront darkness, push back the works of the enemy, and advance God’s Kingdom with boldness. We don’t fight for victory—we fight from victory. Genesis 1:26–28, Luke 10:19, Ephesians 2:6, Romans 16:20, 1 John 4:4


Our Leadership Standards - Who We Empower

At Victory Church, we empower leaders who embody the DNA and carry the culture of this house. Our leaders prioritize daily encounters with God, serve with passion, and live available to His call. They remain teachable and humble, pursue holiness, protect unity in the Spirit and with one another, and demonstrate faithfulness through consistency, dependability, and commitment. They honor the Lord with the tithe and lead by example in both character and stewardship.

These are the leaders we trust to carry the vision of Victory Church, cultivate its culture, and help steward the presence of God in this house.


Daily Encounters

We prioritize the presence of God. Leaders cannot give what they don’t have. Daily intimacy fuels public impact. Psalm 27:4, Mark 1:35, John 15:4-5


Passionate

We serve the Lord with zeal, never lacking in spiritual fervor. Our hearts burn for the things of God, and we lead from a place of love and conviction. Passion fuels our worship, our work, and our witness. Romans 12:11, Colossians 3:23-24


Available

We live surrendered and interruptible. Kingdom leaders make room for God and for people. Availability isn’t about convenience; it’s about obedience. Isaiah 6:8, Matthew 9:37-38


Teachable

We remain lifelong learners—open to correction, training, and growth. A teachable heart is also a humble heart: willing to listen, ready to serve, and eager to grow. Proverbs 9:9; James 4:6; Philippians 2:3–5


Holy

We pursue purity in heart, speech, and conduct. Holiness sets us apart and reflects God's nature. We do not tolerate compromise. 1 Peter 1:15-16, 2 Corinthians 7:1


Faithful

We stay steady and dependable in every season. Faithfulness is the fruit of a mature life rooted in Christ. We show up, we finish well, and we honor commitments. Proverbs 20:6, Luke 16:10, 1 Corinthians 4:2


Unified

The favor of God is found in unity. Our desire is to be in perfect unity with the Holy Spirit, which brings us into unity with one another! We understand that unity pleases the Lord. Psalm 133, Ephesians 4:2-6


Tithing

We honor the Lord with the tithe. With joy, we give to God our first and our best! Malachi 3:8-10, Matthew 23:23-24, 1 Corinthians 9:7–14
