Praise Team: LeAnn, Teresa, David G., David S., Debbie, Colette
In March of 1998 Pastor J. Larry Gunter was appointed pastor of Victorious Life Church in Conyers Ga. Immediately Pastor Gunter Knew that God had a plan and a purpose for this church and ministry. The Vision that God gave pastor was to build a church that looks like heaven, a multicultural Church. Pastor Gunter knew that God had called him to pastor a muti-cultural church that would reach East Atlanta for Jesus Christ.
Under his leadership Victorious Life started making plans to move the congregation from the very small traditional sanctuary that they had worshipped in for two years to the family life center. The members of the church without delay caught the vision of the pastor to begin converting the gym into a worship center. Victorious Life would worship in the family life center for seven years, which was just a part of God’s over all plan to continue the vision of the pastor.
In August of 2006 Victorious Life reached another level of the dream moving toward the completion of the vision. The church broke ground to build a new sanctuary. That dream and vision became reality October 2008 when the congregation of Victorious life moved into a new contemporary 700 seat sanctuary.
Pastor J. Larry Gunter grew up in South Georgia as a Southern Baptist. He and his wife Kathleen also a former Baptist, both became involved with the Church of God as teenagers. Pastor and Kathleen met each other while attending the same high School in South Georgia and on June 1st 1971 they were married. The Gunter’s have two children, Larry Jr. and Bridgett Taylor and four grandchildren Kandler, Farrah, Jasper and Emma.
Pastor Gunter has been involved in ministry for more than 30 years as a pastor and evangelist. God has opened doors for him to minister in many countries of the world , preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He attended Truett McConnell College and graduated from Beulah Heights Bible College. You can contact pastor Gunter at www.guntersr@msn.com or www.pastor@vlcog.com

He currently holds the position of Pastor of the Music and Fine Arts Department of Victorious Life Church. He is married to his lovely wife, Kim and has two beautiful daughters, Taylor and McKenzie.
Justin Long - Student Pastor- College, High School, and Jr. High
Pastor Justin Long answered the calling that God had placed upon his life at the age of 14. He began to develop a passion to know God and make him known.
After High school Justin moved to Fort Myers, Florida to enroll in America's most intense, radical discipleship training for over 2 years called "Masters Commission". He traveled under the leadership of a national and international known evangelist Reggie Dabbs.
Once Pastor Justin graduated from Masters Commission he relocated to Hobbs, New Mexico to be a student pastor. There he spent almost 3 years under the leadership of Pastor Jotty Kinney.
Now He is on staff @ vlcog, under the leadership of Pastor Gunter. By Faith he believes that God will do what has never been done in the upcoming generation of Rockdale and NewtonCounty.
Even though he has allot of ministry going on, His first ministry would be his lovely wife Sandra. Sandra leads the girls discipleship and the next level worship team. They are the greatest team God has ever put together.

After graduating from high school he went on to minister with “The Mission” an outreach program through Lee University. He stayed for six months then felt a strong calling to return back to his home church. Upon returning he took up the role of Children’s Pastor with the church and started Victoryville Children’s Ministries.
Pastor Matt has built a children’s ministry based on the principles of Acts 2:17 – “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” Matt believes that no matter the age of a child God can and will use them. There is no age limit on who God is pouring His Spirit out on, just ALL people.
In 2005 Matt married his wife Jenny who has been a tremendous blessing to this ministry. She has worked in Children’s Ministry for 10 + years involved in everything from puppets to clowning. “Mrs. Jenny” has a true heart for outreach to the Conyers community and heads up the Lighting the Path Children’s Outreach Ministries division of Victorious Life Church.
