​Our History

Our humble beginning: The 2020 Pandemic actually helped create VICTORIOUS!  With churches closed, when Easter 2020 approached, Rich and Linda Sue's neighborhood decided to have an Easter worship service in their cul-de-sac! Twenty-five people gahered, and they asked Rich & Linda Sue to provide special music.  The service was so loved that "Cul-de-sac Church" continued every Sunday through October (when it simply got too cold)!  After a few weeks, Rich & Linda Sue called their friend, Cheryl, then a soloist, to join them. She sent two accompaniment tracks to Rich, who arranged harmony parts, and then two more tracks each week for several more weeks. Before long, they had a repertoire, and their cul-de-sac neighbors encouraged them to stay together as a trio, and VICTORIOUS was born!
