Victory Baptist Church, having just celebrated its 33rd year of service to the community of Louisville, Kentucky was once one of the largest churches in the region. With the evangelical movement of the 1970s came booming congregation numbers and a busing ministry designed and run by Pastor Gardner Gentry. Former pastor and current missionary–church builder in Malawi, Africa. The current pastor was the associate pastor for many years, Randall "Randy" Kennedy. He is the son-in-law of Pastor Gentry, having married his daughter Denise, who runs the clerical side of the church along with Yvonne Wilson, Emma Waits and Kendra Gies. The church offers many ministries, a much smaller busing ministry headed by Bro Lou Merrill, a children's church that runs parallel with the main services taught by Bro. Tim Wells and Bro. Scott Roberts, many Sunday school courses for all ages, a youth ministry (also taught by Bro. Scott Roberts) and a growing Spanish-speaking ministry led by Bro. Gabriel Moreno Sr. and his family.
