Achievements and performance
Connect ministry:
Victory Church Belfast, on a weekly basis, took connect mobile on the Castlereagh Road and surrounding areas to provide the public with refreshments. We use this as an opportunity to encourage the local community to pray and care for anyone who needs it.
Connect mornings:
We held multiple morning breakfast fellowships this year, feeding people from the community.
Conference:
In February and March of 2025, we decided to hold an international conference teaching the bible. It was located both in the Lan Mon Hotel and Victory Church. The conference was over 3 days and had over 700 attendees, some of which had travelled from abroad. The conference was free to the public and costs were incurred by Victory Church. It equipped and empowered all attendees with biblical knowledge and teaching.
Homeless:
Members of the church go out onto the streets of Belfast with care packages and food. We seek to listen, care for and positively impact the homeless community in Belfast. We will get homeless connected with hostels or temporary accommodation and food, tents or on the spot necessities.
Street ministry:
On a weekly basis, we had groups sharing the love of the gospel on the streets of Belfast and further afield including Ards, Strangford and Newcastle. This was in relation to both scripture and in practical terms such as referrals to food banks etc.
Missions:
We held a small self-funded mission trip to Newcastle England, where we shared our faith through witnessing on the streets. We also paid for the rescue of a mother and her two children from the trafficking trade, in partnership with Troy Brewer Ministry / Open Door Experience.
Childrens ministry:
The childrens ministry has included not just a Sunday school for primary age children, but also events, parties and a summer scheme and an Easter scheme.
Foodbank:
Our food bank where the public would come and get top ups to their shopping or essentials to carry them through. Fulfilling the practical needs of the community.
Youth leaders:
We have started an on going older youth development programme, to facilitate individuals in being helpers in ministry with their own t-shirts and responsibilities.
Families:
During this period we held a toy drive to provide Christmas supplies such as toys and food for those in severe need. We saw a massive demand for this and it allowed us to help supply Christmas for people in the local area and further afield. We have also held family events including quiz nights, Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day events and Christmas celebrations which are all open to the community.
Online:
Pastor Gary personally taught over 220 hours of bible teaching online in this period with almost half of

a million people watching these teachings. Victory Church online Facebook group now has over 8,500 members around the world tuning in regularly for teachings. As well as over 6,000 subscribers across YouTube and Rumble.
Bible study:
Bible study occurs each Wednesday at 2.00pm and 7.00pm where we instruct and tutor people in the discernment and division of scripture. As well as prophetic teaching every Tuesday at 7.00pm.
Men:
To aid in the fight against the current mental health crisis, we have ran men's nights and implemented men's fellowship breakfast. Giving a free space for men to speak, specifically about their mental health.
Financial review
This year we saw the continuing growth in the needs of the community. As such, we continued to run both a delivery and in house foodbank, supplying essentials to those in need. Giving from the congregation has sustained this, from helping directly on the ground with day-to-day living, to helping rescue 3 individuals from modern day slavery. The last portion of the year saw Victory's unit rental increase as per the new rental increase by our landlord. The fruits of our labour as a church haven been seen in multiple baptisms and salvations this year, preaching to hundreds at the conference, reaching and impacting more people than we ever have and feeding hundreds directly from Victory Church Belfast and on the street outreaches.
