OUR PLANS HAVE BEEN RESUBMITTED!

•  JAN 08 - Things don't move as quickly as we had hoped.  We have recently gone back to the county after they required several new changes and additions to the plans.  Right now, it appears that we are going to be re-working our site plan to accommodate some new changes without wasting any of our future space.  JAN 08
•  As of March 19th, we have gone back to the county to re-apply for building permits!  Pray that the Lord's will shall be done and that our focus remains on target - for the KING and the Kingdom!
•  MAY 09 - We just got our plans back, and resubmitted today (the 11th of May).  We have secured a new consultant, and he is helping us move things alone.  We are also taking bids on the project to see what it is going to cost.  Right now we believe that we are close to having the funds necessary to finish the building.  Keep praying!  God is doing the work necessary so that we can dedicate a building for the purpose of bringing people to God and honoring His Name!

The Purpose of the Building Program:

• The Building has many purposes, but the primary reason to build is for the equipping of the believers and to minister to those who are not.  In other words, Victory Baptist shall use this building to support it's members and reach out to the community with love that can only be attributed to God.
• To expand the existing ministries of the church.  There is no good excuse for failing to do God's work, and surely not having a building falls into this category.  That is why we are already ministering.  However, having a building will free up people and time so that we can expand the ministries that we do have, as well as give a positive place for the community to gather.
• The goal is not a building.  The goal of the building project is to follow Christ in obedience in what He has called us to do.  The church has unanimously agreed that God has called us to be a church that is active every day of the week, from after-school programs, to Bible Studies, to community events - Victory Baptist Church will not be isolated from the "real world" but will give anyone who desires, and opportunity to experience the Victory that God has in store for them!
