We as adults need to realize how the honesty and innocence of children can be valuable to every day life. Reaching children at a young age and teaching them about God's saving grace is a priority at New Victory. We are able to do so through the Children's Ministry.

In 2005, Kelly Edens began the Children's Ministry at New Victory. Kelly counts it both an honor and a privilege to serve the Lord by working with children. Her goal for this ministry to teach, and help equip the children of today to become the Christian leaders in our churches tomorrow. She simply wants to open these children's hearts to God.

The Children's Ministry reaches children in a variety of ways. On Sunday morning, Kelly meets with Kingdom Kids (children three years old-third grade) for children's church and then on Wednesday nights Mission Kids (children three years old-fifth grad) meets for mission study. God has opened many doors to this ministry; therefore, Kelly was able to start up a children's puppet ministry. Kelly also directs the children's choir (children five years old-fifth grade) at New Victory to allow children to lift up their voices! Recently, Joyful Noise, the children's hand bell choir, has evolved from the children's choir.

New Victory is blessed to have this ministry be so involved with these children. God has allowed this ministry to reach out and teach them about God's wonderful grace. We can already see God working in their young lives and we are eager to see what God has in store for this ministry and these children!

Football, food, fellowship, and ministering to young people about God – That is how the people at New Victory enjoy spending their Friday nights! The Fifth Quarter Ministry enables New Victory to spread God's holy name to high school students!

The idea for 5th quarter originally came from a ministry in New Orleans and New Victory was excited to get it started here in Jonesborough! In 2004, Dean France began directing the 5th Quarter ministry and to this day it is continuing to grow!

After each home football game at David Crockett High School, 5th Quarter and New Victory minister to and feed the football teams and fans. The food is served hot, fresh, and always free. What a way to reach out to our young people! Usually a 3-4 course meal is available! This consists of possibly hamburgers, hot dogs, spaghetti, salad, chips, bread, and always desserts and drinks! In appreciation of this ministry, David Crockett High School has built a building to aid in better serving these meals. Each game averages roughly 300-400 plates served! The goal for this ministry is to simply reach as many people as possible and get the exciting word of God out to young people!

This ministry is a great testimony for the Lord and a blessing to the community! God has really provided this ministry and New Victory is excited to see where he is going to lead it next!

We all need the essentials of life to survive in this world: food, shelter, and clothing. Unfortunately, some families simply do not have the means to provide these items. New Victory wants to lend a helping hand and through The Help Center ministry we are able to reach families and offer some help.

In 2004, Consider the Lilies, a small clothing ministry, began out of the basement of Jennifer France's home. By God Grace, in January 2008, this clothing ministry evolved into the Help Center ministry at New Victory. The Help Center offers food, clothing, and toiletries to families in need of these items. The doors are always open to helping! The Help Center averages helping 150-200 people a month through this ministry. The goal for the Help Center is not only to serve a willing God, but to reach out further in the community and help more families in need! The Help Center hopes to someday start a literacy program and reach individuals who can not read. Jennifer also hopes to soon be delivering gift baskets to new or expecting mothers through this ministry!

The Help Center is truly a blessing to this church and the community! New Victory is looking forward to the new and exciting things God will bring to this ministry.

Jesus was a carpenter and he loved his people. He met all the needs of his people by loving them first! That is what the Men’s Ministry is all about. Men need spiritual fellowship with other men and this ministry allows them to do so. 

In June 2008, Bill Cutshall began the Men’s Ministry at New Victory. On Monday nights at 7:00, men from the church meet to pray for other men and their needs. This ministry goes out into the community to help those in need. They recently were able to rebuild an unsafe porch for an elderly family. While rebuilding, they made close spiritual relationships not only with each other, but with the family. Bill’s goal for this ministry is to support other ministries throughout the church with spiritual and physical help.

This ministry is a truly a blessing here at New Victory. The Lord has enabled these men to help where help may be needed! It is an amazing testimony for the Lord to rebuild something for someone who is not able to do so! New Victory is genuinely eager to see where the Lord will take these men next!

Mike Tilson began New Victory's Media Ministry in April of 2005. Since then, there have been over 200 DVDs produced, over 3000 DVDs distributed, and thousands of people visiting the website. The Media Ministry offers DVD's of all AM worship services, river baptisms and specials, including singing services. Copies of these DVD's are available for you, located in the church library, which Mike keeps updated and stocked. Anyone can get a DVD of any recorded service for a simple $2 donation to cover cost of materials. To receive information or a DVD contact Mike Tilson. The Media Ministry is also in charge of the church website, church directory, church publications, and supporting staff technology issues.

The Media Ministry is a divine blessing to New Victory. We want to continue to use media as a way to reach others further for Christ! New Victory is eager to see what God has in store for the future of this ministry!

We, as believers, are able to worship God's glorious name is many ways; making a joyful noise is New Victory's Choir's way of spreading the word to others! Men, women, young and old delight in making this beautiful noise at the beginning of every service held at New Victory!

In 2008, Mike Anglin began directing the New Victory Baptist music ministry. This ministry desires in worshiping and leading the congregation into the throne of God. The New Victory Choir focuses on preparing the hearts of the congregation for the message being delivered. Whether it is old hymns, contemporary music, a live band, or accapella words this choir is blessed with beautiful voices to sing God's wondrous praise! The goal for the Choir ministry is to simply use talents God allowed to lift up his holy name! New Victory would love to see more individuals involved in the choir.

The Choir is a blessing to each person and each service. New Victory is amazed at what the Lord has done and is doing through song. We are looking forward to what the Lord has in store for the talent in this choir!

Jamie Swift began the Parish Nurse ministry at New Victory in 2003. This ministry offers free health screenings every Wednesday night, focusing on blood pressures and glucose screenings. It also provides basic health information and education on diagnoses, procedures, medications and other health care issues. The Parish Nurse ministry organizes health awareness activities with guest speakers and special events throughout each year. 

The goal of Parish Nursing is to help encourage physical and spiritual health among church and community members. The Parish Nurse serves as counselor, health advocate, and liaison. The nurse's office at New Victory is open on Wednesday nights from 6:00 until 6:45 pm. Blood pressure, glucose and weight screenings are available each week. The Parish Nurse is also available by cell phone for medical consultation or questions.

New Victory is excited about this ministry and eager to get involved with health care education through Christian fellowship.

Betty Burkey began The Young At Hearts Ministry at New Victory in August 2005. Young at Hearts is an adult fellowship group for those aged 50 and over. This group works together with other ministries in the church throughout the community. Fixing meals for the homebound and taking baskets to local nursing homes are just a couple of projects they do each month. Young at Hearts also prepares meals for families in the community who have recently lost a love one. Christian fellowship is a priority for this ministry. Young At Hearts get together for exciting fellowship once a month through a variety of activities such as picnics at the lake, barge rides, covered dish suppers, cookouts, breakfasts, and even trips to Biltmore Estates.

Life is about enjoyment! The goal for Young At Hearts is simply to allow senior adults to enjoy life and worship together in their daily walk with God! Betty would be blessed to see more seniors get involved in this wonderful ministry. This ministry is a blessing to New Victory and all those involved!

The youth group at New Victory Baptist Church is open to youth from the 5th grade through the 12th grade. This group is lead by Rick and Rhonda Edens. It is our desire that everything this group is involved with would bring honor to god. We covet your prayers for our group of special young men and women.

Mark 16:15 (KJV)

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

It is our goal to equip the youth of this church with the skills to go into the community and the world to share the gospel with everyone

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
