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.

Organ Concert
2025-10-26 15:00 - 16:00
“BACH AND HIS INFLUENCES”Sunday, October 26 @ 3pmJohann Sebastian Bach’s music was profoundly shaped by the Protestant Reformation and Lutheran theology, evident in his dedication to the Lutheran Church, the theological content of his sacred works, and his adoption of Martin Luther’s teachings. Bach even signed many of his compositions with “S.D.G.” (Soli Deo Gloria), meaning “Glory to God Alone,” demonstrating his deeply held religious convictions. On this special Refor-fest weekend, please come and enjoy the sounds of Victory’s Bigelow Opus 17 organ, which was built in the German Baroque style, much like the instruments that inspired Bach. Our Director of Worship and Music, Dr. Kristin Holton Prouty, will be sharing music from Bach as well as some of the composers that influenced him. Entrance is free, but donations to continue the music ministry at Victory Lutheran are greatly appreciated. Reception to follow.

“Joining Jesus On His Mission” Study
2025-10-27 10:00 - 11:00, 2025-10-27 18:00 - 19:00
“Joining Jesus On His Mission” 5-Week Study begins October 13!Starting Monday, October 13, we will begin a new study based on Greg Finke’s book Joining Jesus on His Mission.

This study is about learning how to see our everyday lives as places where God is already at work. Instead of adding more “church activities” to our schedules, Joining Jesus helps us notice the simple opportunities right in front of us—conversations with neighbors, kindness at work, time with family and friends—and how Jesus can use those everyday moments to bring His love and grace to others.

Together, we’ll talk about how to live with eyes open for what Jesus is doing, how to listen to people’s stories, and how to join Him in small but meaningful ways. It’s practical, encouraging, and designed for ordinary Christians who want to grow in living their faith daily.

Two sessions will be offered each Monday: 10:00am & 6:00pm.

Light refreshments will be served. Come and discover what it means to join Jesus right where you already are!
