Celebrating 20 years in Ministry!
February 24, 2019
Truly Thankful!
How quickly twenty years pass! It seems like just yesterday when seventy people gathered together in the upper room of the Arena Building on the campus of UNF, February 21, 1999, for our first service. We were excited to reach out to the Jacksonville area on the eastside! Brent Bitter and Pastor Phil Hoyer were the ones who were privileged to team up to bring God’s Word and Christ’s love to this area.
Victory was a restart after Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, which started in 1970, on Saint John’s Bluff Road, closed its doors in 1995. God has blessed the preaching and teaching of his word during these past years in many ways as souls were led to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and a VPK Preschool began in 2008.
Sunday we join our hearts together to thank and praise our gracious God for all his blessings and for the future work that is still to be done in our wonderful city.
See you Sunday!
