My wife and I moved from California looking for a church and this is where the Lord led us. Love the community and the faithful preaching of the word of God here at Vista!

Vista preaches the Balanced Biblical Truth without sugar-coating. This includes Grace and Mercy, but also not afraid to talk about sin and the need for repentance. Too many modern churches try to fill the seats by not telling the whole truth!

Going to a new church can be uncomfortable yet it was welcoming & friendly. The sermon was down to earth, easy to follow & understand what the message was! I didn't even want to take a nap! Was good music overall I would & will attend again.

Have been going to vista for the past 7 years since we moved here in 2015. We originally planned on trying different Churches but this one was the first one we checked out and it was welcoming, friendly and great message every time we come here. It has grown since then but hopefully I get to meet everyone at Vista. God bless.
