Launching New

CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP SERVICE @ 11:00AMBeginning April 7th, Victory Lutheran will introduce a Contemporary Worship Service at 11:00am on Sunday mornings. Following Easter, the 11:00am service will shift from traditional to contemporary music, led by a praise team under the guidance of Jackie Jewel.

This new service has been a long-requested and carefully planned endeavor. While contemporary worship has been a part of Victory for over twenty years, it hasn’t been present at the Mesa campus for quite some time.

It’s important to note that traditional worship remains the cornerstone of Victory’s worship experience. This is our primary focus. We’re not aiming to “blend” traditional and contemporary styles. Our Saturday service at 4:00pm and Sunday services at 8:00am and 9:30am will continue to uphold traditional styles with excellence. The 11:00am Sunday service will adopt a contemporary style, also delivered with excellence.

Dementia Educational Seminar
2025-01-14 13:00 - 14:30
As you may know, the neurological condition known as Dementia that affects the brain, causing loss of memory, thinking, and reasoning has life altering effects of many individuals and families. Victory Lutheran Church is offering a powerful three-part series on Dementia Education. Session One, January 14, 2025, deals with brain changes that happen during the dementia journey. We will learn how dementia affects each area of the brain and how we, as caregivers, can work with the disease instead of against it. Session Two, February 11, 2025, deals with how we can learn to focus on what our loved ones can do and use that knowledge to make our caregiving journey easier and more fulfilling for us and our loved ones. Session Three, March 11, 2025, teaches us to master three techniques that will make our days go by faster and will help keep our loved one happy and entertained. Each session also includes a question-and-answer section at the end of each seminar, and adult day care is provided should anyone have the need for it. For more information about this seminar series, and to let us know how many from your congregation may be attending, please contact Lynda Buechner at lyndabuechner@gmail.com.

Adult day care is available for anyone you bring that will be needing an activity while you attend the seminar. Please click below to SIGN UP or at the Welcome Desk so that we may plan appropriately for those who will attend.

Stephen Ministry
2025-01-16 11:00 - 12:00 | Victory Lutheran Church, 5946 E. University Dr., Mesa, AZ, 85205, United States
Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation.

Stephen Ministers are trained by their congregation’s Stephen Leaders using resources from Stephen Ministries St. Louis. The training they receive in the congregation equips them to provide high-quality care to people who are hurting.

Care receivers are individuals in the congregation or community who are going through a crisis or life difficulty. Potential care receivers first meet with a pastor or Stephen Leader, who assesses their needs for care and matches them with a Stephen Minister.

After being matched with a person experiencing a life crisis, the Stephen Minister meets with that person on a weekly basis for about an hour to listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support. The caring relationship lasts as long as the need for care exists.

“Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2, NRSV)
