Rev Joseph Sharper is the pastor of the newly established Victory Center A.M.E. Zion Church, in Union City, California. After serving in the Air Force for 10 years, he moved to Califorinia and later began his ministry in 1988.

He was ordained elder in 1998 by the late Bishop Clarence Carr, who gave him a "Challenge Appontment" to establish a church in the Tri-city area of Newark/Fremont/Union City. Beginning in his living room with just his wife, Winifred, with whom he celebrates 52 years of marriage this year, and his Mother-inLaw, the late Myra Ansell, the congregation has moved several times before arriving through God's blessing at its current location.

The Sharpers are partners in ministry focusing primarily on the underpriviledged with programs such as Welfare to Work, and Celebrate Recover. The over-all purpose is to encourage those less fortunate whenever possible and of course to share Jesus with them. Future plans include plans to provide cooked meals at the church weekly and to serve as a Food Bank Distributor.
