On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. -John 12:12-15

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.
