Billy Joe Daugherty is founder and pastor of Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is also the founder of Victory Christian School, Victory Bible Institute and Victory World Missions Training Center. Five hundred twenty-three Victory Bible Institutes have been started in eighty-five countries around the world. He was also the interim President of Oral Roberts University for a period of time.
Daugherty graduated from Magnolia High School in Magnolia, Ark. in 1970.
Victory Christian Center has completed The Tulsa Dream Center, which houses a food and clothing distribution, dental/medical clinic, legal counseling, recreation facilities and other programs to help needy people of Tulsa. Victory Bus ministry brings 1,000-1,200 children and teens from this area each Saturday for Kidz Ministry and S.O.U.L. Youth ministry.
His daily radio and television broadcast, Victory in Jesus , reaches more than 100 million households in North America as well as via satellite and the internet internationally. He is the author of several books including Knocked Down But Not Out , This New Life , Building Stronger Marriages , Families and Led By the Spirit . He and his wife Sharon have authored over a dozen books.
On November 20 , 2005 , a 50 year old man named Steven Wayne Rogers came forward for an altar call at Victory Christian Center and punched Daugherty twice in the face, opening a cut over his left eye that required two stitches. Pastor Daugherty stumbled back onto the stage away from Rogers and prayed that God would forgive Rogers and bless him. Later that evening Daugherty visited Rogers in the Tulsa county jail to discuss the reasons for the attack. Rogers showed no remorse for what he had done. "He said he'd do whatever he wants, to whomever he wants, whenever he wants," Daugherty said. Billy Joe Daugherty did not press charges against Steven Rogers for the assault.
On Sunday March 4, 2007 Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty dedicated the church's new 4500 seat sanctuary on the church's property. Within weeks all services were moved from the Mabee center on the grounds of Oral Roberts Univ. across the street to the new sanctuary.
On October 17 , 2007 , Daugherty was named "Executive Regent" of Oral Roberts University in the wake of scandals and numerous allegations of impropriety involving ORU President Richard Roberts and his wife, Lindsay Roberts. Daugherty's role as Executive Regent included serving as acting president of ORU for a short time until ORU Provost Ralph Fagin assumed the position.
His four children, John, Paul, Sarah, and Ruthie and both sons-in-law work alongside him in the ministry.
In 2009, the church launched a 13-episode television show on TBN called "360 Degree Life" which featured street interviews, thought-provoking animations, testimonies and preaching. In October 2009, Daugherty was diagnosed with lymphoma.
