Victory Life Church

What Victory Life Church does

Victory Life Church is a non-denominational Christian church and nonprofit religious organization founded in 1987 in Durant, Oklahoma, where Duane Sheriff became Senior Lead Pastor. The church operates as a multi-site family of churches with 9 physical campuses across Oklahoma (Durant/central, Atoka, Boswell, Broken Bow, Hugo, Stillwater), Texas (Sherman, Brownwood, Breckenridge Outreach), and Colorado (Woodland Park, Colorado Springs Outreach), supplemented by online streaming through YouTube and the VL Church mobile app.

The organization delivers a portfolio of ministry programs including weekly worship services, VL Kids (children's ministry ages 0-11), VL Youth (middle and high school), Life Groups (small group communities organized in three semesters), VL Missions (local and global mission trips), Summer Camps and Summer Intern Missions at Camp Victory (Cartwright, OK), and the annual Jubilee celebration. Connected ministries — Duane Sheriff Ministries, Legacy Christian School, Hands of Hope Regional Food Bank, and Camp Victory — extend the church's reach into international teaching, K-12 education, food assistance, and youth camp operations. The church uses no proprietary technology; its stack is built on standard platforms including YouTube for live streaming and sermon archives, PushPay for digital giving, CCB church management software, and a mobile app accessed via QR redirect.

Revenue is derived primarily from voluntary tithes and offerings through Sunday services, online giving, and mobile giving, supplemented by camp registration fees (Kids Summer Camp $339/camper, Junior Intern Mission Trip $449, Resident Intern Mission Trip $599). In 2020, founding pastor Duane Sheriff transitioned leadership to his son Jacob Sheriff, who now serves as Senior Pastor. The church is privately held and governed by pastoral leadership with no external institutional investment.
