Dr. Victory Vernon

Dr. Victory Vernon is an author, mentor, and leader.

She is co-founder of The Word Church and Director of Women’s Ministry, where she creates and oversees programs to recognize, solicit, and celebrate contributions women make for the cause of Christ, in addition to designing events focused on the amplification of women’s voices and ideas.

She is also The Word Church’s event coordinator, where she uses her creativity and administrative expertise to organize various experiences to serve both the proximal and broader communities of The Word Church.

She’s the author of I Am Victory: Kingdom Principles to a Victorious Life, a book she published via Victory Media & Publishing, the multimedia publishing company she co-owns with her husband Dr. R. A. Vernon.

Dr. Victory’s call is ministering to women who feel broken and unseen. She is a champion of women, a supporter, and an advocate, inspiring women everywhere to do the work to be physically, emotionally, and spiritually whole. Her maternal charm and loving nature endear her to women and men alike, but women especially. Following church services, scores of ladies stand in line to hug and have a moment with her, and she covers hundreds more in The Shepherds Connection—a fellowship for senior pastors and leading ladies she co-founded with her husband—with her wisdom, realness, and spiritual guidance.

Dr. Victory has a bachelor’s in social work from Capital University, and both her master’s and doctorate in practical theology from Ashland Theological Seminary. She and Dr. Vernon have been married for over twentyfive years and their close-knit family includes five children and two dogs, Prissy and Marley.
