Origins of Victory Churches International

Welcome to the Victory Churches of Europe website. We are part of an international family of churches called Victory Churches International.
The Victory movement began in 1979, with the Hills planting and pastoring their first church in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. This soon grew to be one of the largest charismatic churches in Canada at that time.
In 1988, with five churches established in southern Alberta, Victory Churches of Canada was formed. Victory Churches of Canada quickly became the largest church planting organization in North America. The organization's explosive growth rapidly expanded into the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa. The establishment of numerous Victory Bible Colleges, Christian Schools and TV & Radio ministries accompanied the growth of this grass roots organization.

"The best way to get somewhere in life is to find someone else who is going the same way and join him."

At this moment in time Victory Europe has churches in three countries: United Kingdom, Spain, and Poland. You may find more about these countries by following the links at the top of the page.
Victory Europe began when the first Victory Church of the United Kingdom was birthed in April, 1992. This first church was set-up in Rugeley, Staffs by Pastor Will Graham.
In June 1997, Victory Churches International UK was founded as a result of the official formation of Victory Churches International at the World Conference in Calgary, Canada. This created a global family of churches, covenanted to work together to the building of the Kingdom of God and the sharing of common vision.
The whole structure is knit and held together by an Executive Board, chosen from amongst the regions.

"Vision without Action is pointless, Action without Vision is fruitless,
Vision and Action together can change a nation."
