Our Team

Matt is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and decision-making of church policies and ministries. This includes strategic support and execution for the vision of the church.

Matt loves to travel. He and his family have been to 47 of 50 US states! He spends his free time playing golf in the summer, hunting in the fall, and going to football games whenever he can.

One thing you’ll never see him do: drink coffee. He’s never had a cup in his life!

Steve is responsible for leading Victory’s ministry in three primary areas: Global Missions, Local Church Expansion, and Future Christian Leaders.

Prior to his role as Executive Pastor of Kingdom Builders, Pastor Steve was on staff as our Executive Pastor. He loves the heart and mission of Victory: to reach the world with God’s love.

In his free time, you’ll find Steve outdoors running, cycling, or practicing landscape photography (he’s an incredible photographer!).

Pastor Bob leads Care and Prayer Ministries, including prayer partners, weddings, funerals, extended care, and lay ministry.

He’s married to Christina and enjoys almost any outdoor activity. If he can’t get outside, you’ll find him trying to break out of an Escape Room with friends!

In addition to their passion for families in the church, Bob and his wife are passionate about creating a loving and comfy home for their family. They’re certified foster parents and love every minute of it!

As the New Castle Campus Pastor, Ben is responsible for the growth and pastoring of our New Castle family.

He is married to Pastor Alyssa and they have three beautiful children. Together, they develop and lead outreach teams in New Castle that provide support to those in need. Prior to his role as the New Castle Campus Pastor, Pastor Ben served as the Student Ministry Pastor.

Pastor Ben enjoys spending time hiking and camping with his family. They go on a camping trip to a cabin each year.

As Family Pastor, Matt leads ministries for kids, students, and young adults—from birth through college. He also oversees marriage and family ministry, including premarital preparation, marriage mentor teams, and small groups for couples and parents.

Matt is married to Erin, and together they have four children. In high school, Matt was a state champion Javelin thrower. He was a QB, too—a 4,000-yard passer!

But the best thing that happened to Matt in High School was Erin. They started dating when they were fourteen and have been together ever since. When he’s not at church or hanging out with his family, you might catch him playing chess, fishing, or trying to win a flag football game.

Rebecca oversees our Victory Kids ministry. She was a child in Victory Kids once upon a time and has a heart to make sure every child feels welcomed and loved.

Rebecca has a background in education (she taught Social Studies for years) and has a master’s degree in theology. If you ever have a conversation with her, she’ll probably throw in a quote from a song or movie, and she could spend hours lost in a British mystery (she’s on #teamsherlock).

Rebecca is a dog person. Next time you see her, make sure you ask about her wire fox terrier, Hudson, or cavapoo, Benson.

Kelly is responsible for leading the worship, production, communication, and creative teams. She thrives on creating environments where people can experience God’s love.

She’s married to Larry, aka “Toot,” and they have two children. In her free time, Kelly loves to get outside, and she firmly believes that tacos and ice cream are the two most important food groups. (Don’t try to convince her otherwise. She’s really thought about this.)

Before serving as our Experience Director, she spent six years as our Creative Director. Kelly has called Victory home since 2005.

Joelle leads our Discipleship Ministries with heart and vision, overseeing everything from Care and Small Groups to our First Impressions teams. Her passion lies in helping people feel seen, connected, and spiritually supported, whether they’re stepping into church for the first time or diving deeper into community.

With over 24 years of ministry experience, including 12 years in youth and young adult ministry and 7 years in Small Groups, Joelle brings both depth and joy to her role. Her background in Human Resource Management adds a strategic edge to how she builds teams and nurtures leaders.

Joelle is married to her husband, Rick, and they have a son who keeps life fun and full. Outside of ministry, she thrives on gathering people and hosting game nights, sharing coffee shop conversations, and exploring new places with loved ones. Her gift for hospitality and connection shines through in everything she does. When you see her, be sure to recommend your favorite board game to her!
