WE ARE A FELLOWSHIP OF CONNECTED CHURCHES WORKING ALONGSIDE CHURCH LEADERS TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE, SUPPORT AND RESOURCES TO LAUNCH AND GROW CHURCHES THAT IMPACT THE COMMUNITY.
Chief Apostle Bishop John D. Young
Founder
Bishop John D. Young Sr. accepted the lord as his personal savior in 1966. His Church work began as a Deacon, Director of the Choir and Minister of Music. In 1969, he was called into the Ministry and ordained as an Elder. In the mid-70s, Elder Young organized a mission and evangelistic work in Barth, Florida; a rural community approximately 30 miles North of Pensacola. The mission began to flourish so a building was purchased in the area. It was later established as The United Church of God in Christ under the pastoral leadership of Elder Young.
As the Lord elevated Elder Young, the membership also increased under his leadership. This increase required the need for a larger edifice in which a building was located in Pensacola. The Church purchased the building and the church was renamed Pentecostal Temple Church of God in Christ. Eventually, Pastor Young was appointed District Superintendent of Pensacola District #3. Pastor Young’s evangelistic ministry also continued to expand throughout the years.
In November 1996, Pastor Young accepted his calling and ordination as the first Bishop of the Northwest Florida Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction. In 1998, the church embarked upon a mission to build a new edifice the would house a gym, educational facility, fellowship hall, offices and a swimming pool. Through the initial plan was to purchase land surrounding the present church the order to expand, much opposition was encountered, yet it did not deter Bishop Young and the congregation. they continued pursuing what God would have them to do until a parcel of property became available at 6550 North Palafox Street. The property was purchased and the new edifice was constructed.
Surrendering and submitting to the sovereignty of God, Bishop Young resigned from the Northwest Florida Jurisdiction in December 2009. Out of this end, came the beginning and the birthing of visionaries in covenant inc. Through much prayer and fasting, the legacy began. Bishop Young is now the Founder and Cheif Apostle of VIC, Inc. There were many who heard the vision, saw the vision and are now moving with the vision. Bishop Young’s Focus for Visionaries In Covenant inc. is to build the kingdom of God in perilous times.

The Objective of this fellowship is to invade the territory of the enemy through the anointing power of the Holy Ghost, destroying and pulling down strongholds from community to community in an effort to establish kingdom building, thus changing lives one person at a time.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this fellowship is to inspire a kingdom environment, whereby the saints are able to develop and grow in the wisdom and knowledge of God; to help bring balance in the four primary areas of life- spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially - that all would endeavor to walk in the purpose of their calling.
GOAL
The goal of the fellowship is to expand the fellowship throughout the United States (and eventually abroad), one fellowship in multiple locations, building ministries in communities and produce leaders that will take the responsibility of maximizing kingdom growth; and many foundations that will further the work and growth of the kingdom.
