Our Mission
Our mission is to See People Transformed by Jesus. We know that when people truly encounter Jesus and decide to follow Him, they can’t help but be transformed by Him (2 Corinthians 3:18). We are here to help people discover who they are in Christ and equip them to become disciples of King Jesus. We are radically obsessed with Jesus. Anything we do that does not help connect people to Jesus is not worth our time, money, or effort.
We are a family of churches across Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado. We invite you to join us on our journey as we seek to see people transformed by Jesus. We provide a variety of ministries and programs to help accomplish our mission, and we would love to serve you and your family no matter where you are on your journey.
Our Values

Jesus is the Living Word. His truth shapes everything we do.

Generosity
We are blessed to be a blessing—with our time and resources.
Generational
We invest in every generation and plan with the next in mind.
What We Believe
We don’t get to make up our faith, it is a legacy that has been handed down to us through the faithful obedience of the saints and the sacrifice of martyrs across church history. We have a duty to maintain the integrity of our faith and to pass it on to the next generation without allowing cultural influence to erode its core truths.
We stand in agreement with what the apostles and early church fathers agreed were the absolute essentials of the Christian Faith as documented in The Apostle’s Creed:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
*that is, the Global Christian Church of all times and all places, not Roman Catholicism.
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Essentials and Non-Essentials
We believe the essential truths of the Christian faith are outlined clearly in the Apostles Creed. We understand however that this is not an exhaustive list of every doctrine and issue that may be of concern to you and your family as you are trying to decide if our church is a solid place to connect and grow in your faith. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions if any of our responses are not clear enough or if there is a specific area of concern that we have not addressed here.
We exist to see people transformed by Jesus.
Leadership
Senior Pastors
Jacob Sheriff has dedicated his life to being transformed into the likeness of Christ. As a second-generation pastor, he has been blessed to have been introduced to the Gospel and have a relationship with Jesus from a young age. Jacob has been a part of the pastoral team at Victory Life Church since 2005, and now serves as the Senior Pastor. He has had such radical encounters with the power of God that seeing people transformed by Jesus has become his life’s mission.
The most significant part of the call of God on Jacob’s life is to his incredible wife, Hannah, and their five children. They are committed to raising their children to be disciples of Christ. In his free time, you can find Jacob reading, studying, enjoying good coffee, and backpacking. He is a Holy Spirit gifted communicator in sharing the truth of the Gospel of Jesus.
Who’s in Charge?
Jesus is ultimately in charge, we are simply stewards of this expression of the church. Victory Life Church as a whole is led and stewarded by our Senior Leadership Team. That includes not only our campuses, but also other extension ministries like Legacy Christian School, Hands of Hope, Camp Victory, and Transformation Institute.
The Executive Team’s job is to set the vision, culture, and structure for the overall organization, but this is not done unilaterally. This team is submitted to and in covenant with our Governing Elders and all major decisions must have unanimous agreement. Our Governing Elders meet at least quarterly to get an organizational update and discern next steps for big decisions.
