At Victorious Life we believe that the church should be building meaningful relationships that help meet the spiritual and emotional needs of each person in the church. We believe that it is just as important to consistently meet in small groups as it is to come together corporately on Sunday mornings. Here at VLCC we see the church as a large extended family that is composed of many people from all walks of life and of every age and experience.

"As it is, there are many parts, but one body." (1 Corinthians 12:20) Because of this, we strive to encourage each part of the Body of Christ in a way that will best meet its individual needs. Each small group has a distinctive emphasis and shares the common goal of promoting spiritual growth. Groups are available for: teens, college students, men, women, married couples, prayer groups, and home-based Bible study groups. The end result of this ministry to individuals and families is a strengthening of the Body of Christ through committed fellowship, sincere encouragement, and a devotion to spiritual growth.
