“In the fall of 1941 the Reverend
Thomas McKinney, a recent graduate from Dallas Theological Seminary,
established an evening Bible study class in Memphis, Tennessee. The
response to the class was so encouraging that a group of Christian
men began investigating the potential of establishing a permanent
institution that would provide an opportunity for the study of the
Bible and Bible-related subjects.”
This is the story of how the Victory
University (VU) started out to become one of the unique educational
institutions of our time with an open arm to embrace the modern
values with respect for heritage and strong roots of traditional
values.
The traditionally-modern University
aims to inculcate faith, wisdom, and knowledge through education to
students for them to have the right perspective of the current
society, to live and navigate within the society, and to have the
right knowledge that can be applied to the society.
Apart from following the Christian
theology, Victory University prepares its students to compete with
the society’s brightest minds. While appreciating the heritage,
students are also encouraged to seek wisdom and remain open to
sciences.
Pledge of Victory University
“Our pledge to every student is to
provide strong Christian values, sound educational leadership, and
fiscal responsibility.”
The University makes it evident from
its pledge that an important aim for them is to develop the students
with necessary skills to become well-rounded personalities with core
values to live the life in its form and truth and responsibility
towards the current society.
