NEW HERE? START HERE!
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT ON A SUNDAY?
You will be greeted at the front doors by our friendly volunteers. We have a room for Wobblers & Toddlers as well as a vistaKIDS ministry for children up to 5th grade. Our vistaYOUTH is for Jr. & Sr. High age kids and is a part of our main worship/teaching on Sunday mornings. Our service lasts about 70 minutes and includes a time of praise and worship and teaching from God's Word.
PARENTS WITH KIDS (NEWBORN-5TH GRADE)
We will take your family’s information and issue security tags for each of your children. After you drop your kids off, you can stop in the lobby for some coffee and tea or you can head straight into the auditorium for service.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUTH?
Our youth ministry joins with us on Sunday mornings for worship/teaching. We have separate youth events and gatherings for this age group throughout the month as well. Our Youth Director is Andre Arceneaux and can be reached for info/questions at andre@vistachurch.net
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
Each month we offer a “getting to know Vista” class called Starting Point. You’ll get an opportunity to ask questions, interact with church staff and get to know other new faces at VISTA. Click here to sign up for an upcoming class.
COME AS YOU ARE
By all means we want you to come as your are. One of our main goals here is to make sure you feel comfortable. When you walk through our doors we want you to feel welcomed and loved every single time. We understand that no one is perfect. The only thing we can do is love each other and extend grace.

BRING YOUR BIBLE!
We encourage everyone to bring their Bibles. God calls for us to dive into the word, and we want to do that together. Most of us carry arround a Bible in our pocket every day without thinking. Feel free to pull out your smart phones and open up your Bible on whatever app you wish. Let's read together.
OUR CORE VALUES
We believe that the goal of church is not to make people more religious but to help people fall more in love with Jesus and therefore become more fully human. We believe that we are called to reach out to our neighbors both locally and globally and serve them in ways that make a difference. We believe that spiritual practices like prayer, reading the Bible, participating in small groups, and serving are vital to our faith.
No matter who you are, where you come from or what your past, you are welcome at VISTA Church. It is our goal to create an atmosphere where anyone can discover Jesus Christ.
As a part of the Body of Christ, we believe everyone has gifts and talents and is needed to help make VISTA an amazing place. All of us are on mission together to see lives changed for Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 4:16
Jesus came to seek and to save those who are lost. He was on a rescue mission and turned that mission over to the church. The time is short and VISTA Church wants to see people come to know Jesus through missions, community outreach, church planting and evangelism.
