Over the past 24 years, the youth ministry at Victory Christian Center for teens aged 12-18 years old was led by Miss Gloria Cleveland. Under her leadership, many of the VCC youth grew up to become devoted Christians, faithful servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, and valuable assets to the ministry here at Victory Christian Center Church. Miss Cleveland has always been passionate about serving the youth, teaching them the Word of God. Miss Cleveland worked closely with the late Pastor Robyn Gool to help bring God’s vision and strategy for the youth at VCC to fruition.
From its inception, the VCC youth ministry has been called exactly that: the youth. VCC has hosted a number of youth conferences, services, and lock-ins over the years, and participated in outreach activities; such as visiting nursing homes to minister to the senior citizens. After decades of active service and ministry to the VCC youth ministry, Miss Gloria Cleveland is now passing the baton to the next generation of leadership for the youth ministry.
The VCC youth ministry has not only received a new leader but also has a brand new name, both of which were approved by the late Pastor Robyn Gool before he transitioned. The VCC youth ministry, now called “NextGen” will now be led by Minister Caleb Smith, son of Pastors Tony and Joanna Smith of Refreshing Springs Worship Center in Salisbury, NC. We are so excited about this new beginning for our youth and for all the other ways our ministry is going from glory to glory!
