History of Victory Baptist Church
Victory Baptist Church was started in July of 2003 by Pastor Jerry Dye. The church began meeting in a storefront in West Jefferson, Ohio, with the congregation consisting of the pastor's wife, daughter, and his parents. As the church gained a couple families and the Lord provided the means, the church moved into a building in West Jefferson and were later able to purchase the property. In December of 2010, after much prayer and leading of the Spirit, the church began a new work in London, Ohio where they are presently serving.
About The Founding Pastor
After being honorably discharged from the Navy in 1984 Jerry Dye began his career as a flight instructor. This led to 23 years of flying passengers for a national airline. During this time he completed a doctorate degree in Theology and served as Associate Pastor for Amazing Grace Baptist Church with Pastor Jimmy Hood. It was at Amazing Grace that he was ordained and, following God's calling, was sent out in 2003 to plant Victory Baptist Church. After eighteen years of faithful service he went home to be with the Lord in December 2021. He will be missed!
