PASTOR TONY SMITH is the founder of Victorious Ministries International (VMI) of Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1997 as The Victory Center Church and later becoming Victory Ministries International in 2004, Pastor Smith brought together three local churches in 2010 to create a unified army of believers now known as Victorious Ministries International.
A proud native of the Baltimore City Park Heights community, Pastor Smith's ministry began with a congregation of 16 people meeting at a local high school. In just a few years, God expanded his ministry to an international platform, reaching thousands through the church, community outreach, and a worldwide media ministry.
Pastor Smith began his walk with Christ at Highway Christian Church under the ministry of the late Elder Thomas. He later served at a local church as Minister of Music for 12 years, working with both local and national recording artists. Since accepting the pastoral call in 1997, God has used Pastor Smith to reach those deemed unreachable with his unique style of practical teaching and powerful, dramatic preaching. Known as the modern-day Jeremiah, he delivers the unadulterated Word of God with accuracy, boldness and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Smith is the Founder and Executive Director of God's Excellent Disciples Christian Academy, Camp Judah, and The Victorious Ministries Bible School. The message of his ministry is also delivered into homes via several television broadcasts, including the widely acclaimed "Daily Dose of Victory" aired weekdays on the local FOX affiliate. Pastor Smith is also the Executive Producer and visionary of the popular weekly talk show, “Conversations.” Additionally, Pastor Smith is a published author of the inspirational book “Don't Quit” and “Ladies Only-Stepping Out,” a compilation of his powerful teachings designed to empower women of the Kingdom.
Most importantly, Pastor Tony Smith is a servant of the gospel. He has a burden and a commitment to restore hope, bring healing, and through Christ, bring deliverance to both the local community and around the globe.
