victory baptist church in rochester ny is just about the cultiest of the rochester churches. pastor joe rants and raves for 45 minutes, making animal noises and faces and screaming about how dumb everybody but he is. i look around and think that i can't believe these people are eating this stuff up. they're giving this man a six figure salary to put on a clown act for an hour every week.
some people were friendly, some were very odd.

i've been there and i think so too - very authoritarian, they'll insult you if you don't follow pastor joe's teaching.

they also put guys who have had affairs on as pastors. then they join in and get arrogant and tell everybody else how to live. theyr very jugmental for people who have done so much bad stuff. i'd never go to this church.

LoL...you people are amazing. You bad mouth a church that goes out of its way to help it community and to bring people to Jesus.....you talk about the pastor and throw out what he is supposedly maiking....which by the way you have no idea what you are talking about....and all the while you do this with total anonymity.....you are a bunch of cowards. If you are going to bad mouth somebody at least have the balls to use your name. It is amazing to me how many tough guys are out there when they are afraid to come from behind the "protective skirts" of the internet. Feel free to look around at the sad state of the societ that we currently live in.....complain about how bad things are......and then realize that you are going around and trying to harm and sabotage people and churches that are actually trying to make a difference. You are all pathetic and in my opinion you rank right up there with terrorists who are trying to hurt our country as a whole. Now please notice that do have a set of balls and I have no problem with signing my name to my posts.

I was on staff at Victory for 8 years. I found Joe and the staff to have a genuine love for people, and Victory to be one of the strongest churches around. They are unmatched in their outreach and the amount of good they do in the community.
Sometimes that good they do involves confronting people who are living immorally, and that upsets some people. Apparently some of them blog to vent their frustration. They should be ignored. For every person angry at Victory, there are a thousand who will tell you how much they've benefited from Victory's ministries. Victory is well worth considering in your search for a church.
