Vic was born and raised in northern WI, got his degrees in IL, and has lived since then near Dallas and Atlanta. He married Carmen in 1972, was reborn and baptized in 1987, became a member of Crossroads in 2005, and became an elder in 2023. He and Carmen have been blessed with two godly daughters and sons-in-law and seven grandchildren, all of whom love Jesus and are active in their local churches. Vic has retired from research work in electromagnetics at GA Tech, and is now devoted to eldering, Bible teaching, and various ministries to family, church, and community. Besides eldering, Mr. Tripp has been leading an adult men’s Bible study, contributing to a weekly prayer group, and leading a pastor-search team. Vic believes Crossroads is the best church he has ever been a part of.
