Bishop Donny R. Banks, Founder
Donny Banks was a pastor, a leader, a father, and an outstanding man of God who was called by the Lord to establish Victory Gospel Chapel in San Antonio, Texas. After he received salvation, he began training in ministry because he knew the Lord placed a special anointing on his life to preach the Gospel.
In 1992, Bishop opened Victory Gospel Chapel and served the congregation faithfully for over thirty years. He was a dedicated pastor, and his preaching packed with power from the very Word of God. One year after the Church opened, Bishop Banks began a weekly radio broadcast on Saturday mornings on AM 1480. Today, this broadcast is still ongoing even after thirty years and has helped reach many in the San Antonio area.
Bishop Banks was passionate about the Word of God and was a dedicated scholar. He received his theological training from the Institute for Teaching God's Word Theological Seminary, Rockdale, Texas. He held a doctorate in Theology and was a graduate of Sonship School of the Firstborn. He served in the ministry for over 28 years packing the power of God and in 1999, under the auspices of Bishop Nathaniel Holcomb, Christian House of Prayer, he received his Bishoprick.
In January of 2021, Bishop was called Home to Glory. He will forever be remembered and loved and his legacy lives on!
