Annual Missions Conference - October 22-25
It is time to hear from those we help on the field, to learn of new works, and to renew our personal commitments to faith promise giving. Please pray for the conference and for the Lord's direction for the new year.
A hearty welcome is extended to our visitors and new on-line listeners. We hope you will notice our commitment to teaching and preaching the Bible. Sunday morning is only one of our services, and we hope you will join us on Sunday evening and for our mid-week service on Wednesday.

Youth & Teen Group
The El Vista Teens have a full schedule of fun activities and spiritual training. Led by Pastor Phil & Randi Lancaster, the Teen Group meets in Sunday School at 9:30 AM, then has Teen Soul Winning at 4:30 PM. Wednesday night and Power Hour & prayer time start at 7:00 PM.
We appreciate the time our workers give to the young people -- teaching, visiting, planning, and hosting a number of activities every year. Our desire is to see the young people come to know the Lord Jesus as Savior; to walk with Him in daily life at home, school, and neighborhood; and to yield their lives to Him in following His will. Pray for our teens, their parents, and our outreach to them.
El Vista Baptist Church has been improving the Children's Church Ministry over the past few years. Now consisting of three groups during our morning service, our skillful workers love the children, and on an age-sensitive basis teach the Word of God. Many have been won to Christ and lessons for Christian living have been taught.
