How it all started...
Church History
In 1983, Apostle Jimmie A. Ellis began Victory Christian Center with just seven (7) people in the living room of a row home in West Philadelphia. Today, Victory Christian Center of Philadelphia Inc. (VCC), with a membership of over 1,600, is a thriving ministry located in the heart of Southwest Philadelphia which powerfully reaches many through our threefold vision: Teach the Word of God, Win lost souls to Christ and Provide a haven of rest for weary souls.
A pillar of strength and faith for our community
While providing spiritual guidance, VCC also offers a broad range of assistance and support services to meet the physical, financial, educational and emotional needs of its members and community through more than 40 church ministries and programs. VCC diligently serves its surrounding area with yearly health fairs, food and clothing drives, empowering conferences and revivals. VCC's main campus holds, a community computer center, an on site publishing house, administrative offices, a Christian bookstore, a cafe, an audio center and a computer graphics design suite.
