In January 1, 1954, Odie & Merlene Grammer moved to Seagoville, Texas with their 3 children with the mission of starting an independent, fundamental Baptist church. Bro. Grammer (pictured to the left) immediately began knocking on doo
rs, and soon God led him and his wife to a group of people who wanted to fulfill that mission, LT Cox family, Mrs. Willard Harrison, Kathy Tucker and Mr. & Mrs. Felton Gandy. This excited and enthusiastic group met for the first time on April 25, 1954 in the home of Bro. Grammer. There were a total of 11 people in attendance and the first offering was $33.90. Shortly after that meeting, these determined Christians began to look for a buildi
ng to rent in which they could begin their endeavor. GOD provided a cafe building for them to begin their work. A tent meeting soon followed at that present location, and from that meeting many people were converted. From this group of converts many expressed an interest in forming a local independent Baptist church. As a result, on May 30, 1954 with 28 charter members, the Victory Baptist Church of Seagoville was established. It was at that time that Bro. Grammer was officially called to be the pastor. GOD so began to bless and with the hard work of the members of Victory, the church grew and a larger building was needed. As a result, the first building began in June of 1954. The results of their work and efforts is the very building in which we now reside and worship.

In 1988, after 35 years of faithful and determined service, Bro. Grammer retired and became Pastor Emeritus of Victory Baptist Church. We now find ourselves with the same challenges of those who started this great work - to be an independent, fundamental Baptist church who fully glorifies GOD and to diligently carry out GOD's work. What an awesome opportunity we have before us.
