Elder Richard Vaughn was raised a Methodist and was searching for many answers to the deep truths in the Bible. At the age of 21 he discovered that God's seventh day Sabbath had been changed by man with no heavenly authorization. Digging deeper he found many other truths that were just opposite what mainstream Protestantism taught. "50 years and I'm still discovering new truths in my daily studies." Richard and Tina were two of the founding members of the new Victory Everlasting Gospel Church in South Hill.

Tina Vaughn was raised Roman Catholic and converted to Seventh-day Adventism in 1982, baptized by immersion one day before she and Richard married in the Vienna Seventh-day Adventist Church in Vienna, VA. Tina serves as Sabbath School Superintendent, and Greeter. She is one of the church decorators.

maC's faith was kindled as a boy of eight when the Methodist church Mom led him to gave him a Bible. "Romans 10:9 and 10 ring in my heart today even more than that day in September '64." His studies became more serious after three years, ten months, twenty-nine days in the military; and during subsequent service to the nation as a civil servant, he moved from denomination to denomination seeking and finding truth in each. "Bible truth finally came together for me in a prophecy seminar held February through early April 2003." He was baptized into the faith after the seminar and was ordained an elder August 28, 2010. He holds firmly to Historic Adventism and began preaching full time at Victory in November 2010. "Beloved, now we who trust and obey are the reformation! Come, let us seek, worship, and serve our Creator and Blessed Redeemer together." Among many favorites, Psalm 63:8 holds a special place in his heart.
