About Victory Baptist Church

Since 2006

Where It All Began

We Are Better Together.

God birthed in the heart of Rev. MARIO R DE TORRES in 1985 to purchase this property and start the building construction when he pioneered and pastored Santa Rosa Bible Baptist Church in 1979 at a small apartment located in Brgy. Kanluran at the town proper. In 2013, the pastorate was turned over to Dr. ADIEL H DE TORRES, the Lead Pastor of VICTORY BAPTIST CHURCH, whom God used to expand, completely finish, renovate and furnish this four-storey edifice which is now the HOME of now Victory Baptist Church in the Philippines that started in 2006. Together, we commit to glorify God, serve Christ, and advance His Kingdom.

What We Believe

  • Salvation & Eternal Security

    As God has given your life desiring a personal relationship with you, your decision to be born into the family of God gives you eternal life and eternal relationship with your Heavenly Father. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” – John 1:12-13 As God has given you life desiring a personal relationship with you, your decision to be born into the family of God gives you eternal life and an eternal relationship with your Heavenly Father. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” – John 6:37 “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” – 1 John 5:13

  • Obedient Living

    Baptism is the first act of obedience for a believer, and the Lord’s supper is a remembrance of Jesus Christ’s death until He comes. "And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." – Matthew 3:15-17 “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” – 1 Corinthians 11:2

  • God's Word and Prayer

    Everything you will experience in your life, both physical or spiritual is in the Word of God which is your absolute and final authority in life as a child of God. “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” –2 Peter 1:2 What makes relationship meaningful is communication. The two basic elements of a healthy spiritual life are the Word of God and prayer. God speaks to you as you read the Bible, and you speak to God through prayer. Your relationship with God will only be as strong as your dependence upon prayer.

  • Church

    God intends for the local church-family to grow, train, and prepare the born-again believers to honor and serve the Lord. “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” – Ephesians 4:11-12

It is committed to leading with humility, integrity, wisdom, and a servant’s heart—helping the church grow spiritually, strengthening unity, developing leaders, and faithfully carrying out the Great Commission. Through prayer, godly example, and faithful service, church leaders seek to honor Christ and build a ministry that impacts lives for generations.
