Final Photo Story for COMM 269: Victory Church

For the final Photo Story of my Comm 269 class, I focused on Victory Church in Lancaster, PA. Lancaster county is religiously large and diverse, with over 150 different Christian churches in the area. According to an Outreach 100 survey, Victory church was the 60th fastest growing church in the U.S. in 2020. 

Initially, I wanted to capture the differing ways each campus worshiped depending on the size and demographic. As my story went along I began to capture the staff and how they attempt to engage with their community. Gift Donations, Child Dedication, and Growth Track meetings were just a few of the ways Victory tried to engage with its attendees and help them grow.

I also captured some of the ways Victory continued to challenge and improve its outreach. Campus Pastor Meetings occur every few months and the church replaced a Sunday Service with an untraditional original performance in an attempt to broaden its message potential.
