I first had the pleasure of meeting Rev. Leonard O. Holt at a Welcome Breakfast that was given his honor. That was more than 35 years ago.
At that Breakfast The Mayor of Orlando called him "A man that had no Guile ". Over these many years I have found that to be true.
Rev. Now Bishop Holt has been a great Pastor.

Rev. Holt founded the Victory Community Church on the First Sunday in July .
The location was the Syrian - Lebanonies Community Center on Mills Avenue. Orlando.

A New Church start is no easy task. Beginning and Building a Church from the ground up is not for the weak in heart.

But God straighten is hands and blessed him with the people and skills to do just that.

From the congregation of Thirty Five to approximately Two hundred. Rev. Holt's charge to the congregation was "Follow me as I Follow Christ "

Our motto "The Victory is already won"

Perhaps the most pressing question on the minds of many Christians is whether the Coronavirus is a plague sent by God? Well known Christian leaders are coming down on both sides of this question. Some say there is no way that such a horrible thing could come from a loving God, therefore, it must be the work of the devil. Others such as Franklin Graham, insist that the Coronavirus is God's judgment upon the world for turning our backs on Him and embracing every evil under the sun. So what is the truth?

BlackChurchMaximizing your IRS status as a member of the Clergy and a self employed tax payer.   

     In our community, low income is the factor that drives the need for a lot of things; affordable medicine; affordable utilities; affordable transportation; affordable childcare; affordable education; affordable food; and of course, affordable housing. Our local leaders are yet to design an official plan to address the root cause of the need, which is low income. Low income is the root, and low income is the issue that we need to address.
