About Us
Welcome to Victory
Victory Life Centre was founded in May 1995 by Margaret Court following a clear call from God to establish a Word of Faith, Pentecostal ministry in the Perth region. Known globally as a 64-time Grand Slam champion, Pastor Margaret has carried that same discipline, faith, and determination into ministry—building a church grounded in the Word and empowered by the Holy Spirit. What began as a step of obedience has grown into a vibrant, Spirit-led church with a heart to see lives transformed and communities impacted by the power of Jesus Christ.
From the very beginning, the vision has remained steadfast: to train and raise an army of believers who know Christ intimately, not just in knowledge but from within, and who are equipped to take this city and nation for Jesus. This vision is outworked through strong biblical teaching, a culture of prayer, and a commitment to empowering people to walk in their God-given purpose and calling.
Over the years, this mandate has extended far beyond the walls of the church into both local and global impact. Through the establishment of Victory Life International Bible Training Centre, students from Australia and around the world have been equipped for ministry and the marketplace. Margaret Court Community Outreach continues to bring practical care, hope, and support to thousands across the community each week.
This vision has also expanded globally through Victory Life International, a growing network of hundreds of churches and ministries across the world, united in faith, vision, and a commitment to advancing the Gospel. Together, this movement is raising leaders, strengthening churches, and impacting nations for Jesus Christ.
Victory Life Centre stands as a house of prayer and a lighthouse to the nations—raising up leaders, equipping believers, and advancing the Kingdom with boldness, faith, and the unwavering belief that the best is yet to come.

Margaret Court was officially ordained into full-time ministry in 1991. In that same year, Margaret Court Ministries Inc. was established as an outreach to Perth, which has since extended across the nation and beyond. In 1995, Margaret founded Victory Life Centre Inc., where she continues to serve as Senior Minister.
Margaret is internationally recognised not only for her remarkable achievement of 64 Grand Slam titles, but also for her strong and uncompromising Christian witness. Her leadership is grounded in truth, integrity, and righteousness, with a deep passion to see lives transformed and people won to Jesus Christ.
Alongside her is her husband, Barry Court, who has faithfully stood with her in life and ministry. Together, they have built a strong, Spirit-led church, committed to prayer, the Word, and raising up believers to impact their world for Christ.
