PATRICK GUIDO: PastorPat@VictoryChristianChurch.net

Senior Pastor

Patrick Guido is pastor of Victory Christian Church in Sterling Heights, Michigan and is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. He is married to Christine and they have four children. They have lived in Sterling Heights for the last 21 years.

At 18 years of age, Pat was invited to a youth outreach and there received Christ as his Lord and Savior. Christ has certainly made the difference in his life as he has served as associate pastor in several local churches. He, along with Christine, and six core members founded this new church in January of 2007. Initially services were held in their home and growth in numbers soon required a move to the Italian Cultural Center. Shortly thereafter, due to growth, it was necessary to transition to our current location.

Pastor Pat and Christine have a passion to reach the lost and hurting, world wide, as evidenced by their missions trip to Haiti in 2010 after the earthquake. “My prayer is that all people will come to know and experience God’s love, grace and mercy in their lives.”… Patrick Guido

Liz Cross: Missions@VictoryChristianChurch.net

Missions Director

Liz Cross has a strong passion for missions.  In 2009 she went to Haiti, only a year before the devastating earthquake.  The need was, and is still great.  She was thrilled to meet so many Christians in Haiti that loved and worshipped God and knew the joy of the Lord, in the midst of their dire circumstances.

Victory Christian Church is missionary-minded. Missionaries are people sent out by a church into a country or area to carry on evangelism, feeding programs, building projects, education, medical care and support services. They are moved with compassion to share God’s message of hope and blessing to those without hope. Victory Christian Church helps with prayer and financial support for missionary families and those they minister to. Everyone should have a chance to hear. Those who receive Christ can be set free of sin, addictions, and shame, and have peace and joy in Christ, plus a home in heaven.
