"Christus Victor," the Latin for "Christ the victor," emphasizes Jesus Christ and victory through Him as the center of our ministries. Christus Victor, a holistic Christian ministry, started among the urban poor "squatters" of greater Metro Manila, Philippines, seeks to fulfill the Great Commission particularly among the urban poor in developing countries. In 1981, a prayer group began in the home of Mike and Lourdes Pastor of Mayamot, Antipolo City (on the urban fringe of Metro Manila). Soon the fellowship developed into a house church.
By 1987, the church incorporated as Christus Victor Ministries with Rev. Lourdes Sendiong Pastor (M. Div., Th.M., D.Min.) as first full time minister.
In 1990, Christus Victor Preschool for squatter children began.
Christus Victor Academy opened in 1991 for elementary students and for high schoolers in 1994.
Recently, the ministry moved to a permanent 320 square meter lot and new building. Christus Victor Academy has received a Department of Education government permit to operate.
The Christus Victor Church is a member of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches, itself a member of the World Evangelical Fellowship.
