Get ready to register. Here’s what you’ll need.

The Victory Believers Convention is our yearly homecoming: a week of worship, teaching and renewal at Victory Sanctuary, Lekki. Everyone who comes registers, in person or online, so we can plan rooms, meals and care for you.

  1. 1
    Who you are

    Your name, phone number and age. Everyone 13 and over registers; under-18s add a parent or guardian.

  2. 2
    Your outreach and dates

    Which outreach you’re coming with, and the days you’ll arrive and leave, so we plan meals for the right days.

  3. 3
    Someone to call

    An emergency contact, and anything our welfare team should know to look after you.

  4. 4
    Your family

    Your husband or wife and your children, on one form, so you’re housed together and counted once.

Questions

Good to know before you register.

Who needs to register?

Everyone coming to VBC, in person or online. If you are 13 or older, register yourself. Children under 13 are added by a parent or guardian on their own form.

Does registration cost anything?

No. Registering for VBC is free, whether you come in person or join online.

Can I register my family on one form?

Yes. Add your husband or wife and your children to your form, so you are housed together and nobody is counted twice. If your spouse would rather fill in their own form, choose “They’re registering themselves” and give their name, and we will pair you.

I’m 13 to 17. Can I register myself?

Yes. You will be asked for a parent or guardian’s name and phone number, and our welfare team will place you safely with your outreach group.

Will the convention give me accommodation?

Delegates from our outreaches outside the Lagos area can ask for hostel or family accommodation. Outreaches close to the venue commute from home. Guests and visitors can book a hotel nearby, and the accommodation desk can suggest options.

Can I join online?

Yes. Choose “Online” at the start of the form. We will share the live-stream link and the programme before the convention.

My plans have changed. What should I do?

Tap “Request a change” on your pass, or contact the planning team with your registration code. Please don’t register again.

I’ve lost my pass.

Use “Find my registration” on this page, with the code and the phone number you registered with.
