Our Church History  

Triumph Church traces its history back to 1935 when the Holy Spirit fell upon the Fields and Marshall families in a brush arbor meeting near Eden , Mississippi. The families later moved to Vicksburg and hosted house revivals where many were saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4. 

The late Rev. George W. Fields along with the late Rev. G. C. Bishop founded one of the first Full Gospel/Pentecostal churches in Vicksburg in 1947. That church is still going strong today ministering to the Vicksburg area.  

In 1989, at a women’s conference in Nederland, Texas, a prophecy was given that a church would be birthed in Vicksburg from Triumph Church of Southeast Texas, where Randy and Renee’ Marshall Clark are pastors. Pastor Randy Clark assumed apostolic oversight of the new work along with founding elders Wayne Fields and Betty Price and services began in the Fields home. The church began to grow holding services at the Fields home and the Vicksburg National Guard Armory. It was incorporated in summer, 1990 as Triumph Church of Vicksburg.  

In August 1990, Rev. Charles Bosarge and his wife Regina moved to Vicksburg to become the first full time Pastors of Triumph Church. In January 1991, the church moved to the corner of South and Walnut streets. Triumph experienced rapid growth and in 1993, the church purchased property and built the first building at its present location.  

In spring 1994, Pastor Bosarge announced that God was leading them to the Jackson , Mississippi area to open a new church there. In late 1994, Dan and Sue Landry became Pastors of Triumph Church. The church continued to grow, expanding facilities in 1998.  

In spring 2000, Pastors Dan and Sue Landry resigned as pastors. Seven months later Mike Fields, the son of founding elder Wayne and Joyce Fields and the grandson of the late Rev. George W. Fields, was installed as pastor of Triumph. Mike along with his wife Zena had served faithfully at Triumph since its beginning as Elders and Mike as Minister of Music since 1995. 

Triumph has experienced tremendous growth in the past few years expanding its staff and leadership as the church ministers to hundreds each week. An additional nine acres of land and two buildings adjoining the original property was purchased in 2001 that now house a Christian School. The Main campus now has over 25,000 square feet and a worship center seating over 800. 

Triumph’s student ministry, GENERATE, ministers to hundreds each Wednesday night. Gifted song-writer and worship leader Landy Maughon leads a music & arts team that brings a powerful worship experience for every believer. 

A caring atmosphere, quality leadership, and community outreach has attracted people from all ages, religious backgrounds, races, and walks of life. Known throughout the city as a model for racial harmony and diversity, Triumph Church has become a congregation of nearly equal numbers of Caucasian and African-American members. Early prophecies associated with Triumph Church foretold that it would be a culturally diverse, Spirit–filled, bondage breaking church of mercy, restoration and healing.  

There is a new generation rising at Triumph Church , a generation who doesn't believe in limits, and who believes all things are possible through Christ Jesus. Pastor Mike Fields and his wife Zena are leading this generation with the uncompromising gospel of Jesus Christ and practical daily application that is transforming lives.
