Victor Kubik was born in Hannover, Germany, in a United Nations Displaced Persons camp in the aftermath of World War II. He immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1949.

He is married to the former Beverly Skogen. They have three children: Kim in New Jersey, Kevin in Minnesota and Michael in Indiana. Michael is married to Alix Rhodes, and they have one daughter, Alyssa.

Mr. Kubik studied the Bible through his high school years and became convicted of the Sabbath and other truths. He applied to Ambassador College in 1965 before hearing about the Church. He was accepted to the Pasadena campus and later transferred to and graduated from Ambassador College in Bricket Wood, England, in 1969. After graduation, he served in the ministry in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, South Dakota; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Paducah, Kentucky.

In 1990, Mr. Kubik was transferred to Pasadena, where he served as assistant director of Church Administration until his resignation from the ministry of the Worldwide Church of God in March 1995.

He was the first director of Ministerial Services in United. In 1996 he and Beverly were transferred to Indianapolis where he pastors congregations in Lafayette and Terre Haute, Indiana, to this day.

He also oversees the work of the United Church of God in Eastern Europe, which includes a congregation in Tartu, Estonia, and a working relationship with Sabbatarians in Ukraine, and he travels regularly to those regions. He is fluent in Ukrainian and also speaks Russian.

Mr. Kubik has served on the Council of Elders through the entire history of United. He currently chairs the Media Committee and enjoys seeing the dynamics of constantly changing technology being used to proclaim an unchanging gospel message. He also serves on the Education/Ministerial Services Committee.

One of his passions is to help our brethren in developing areas. In 1999 he founded a nonprofit organization, LifeNets, which helps people in practical ways, helps them become self-sufficient and encourages even the poor to focus on others.

He gives special credit to his wife, Beverly, who has been an integral part of his ministry. Her full-time work is his ministry. "Without the devotion and dedication of Bev to all the things that I try to do, I wouldn't even begin to see the successful outcomes I have experienced."

His pastimes include playing the piano, bicycling and hiking. UN
