"El Vista's 74th Anniversary"
Memorial Day weekend, 1949, El Vista Baptist was formed as a local church, meeting at Woodrow Wilson school. Not long after, under Vernon Gibb's ministry, we moved to a basement auditorium at Hauk & Finnell. In 1961, the upper portion of the building was added. In 1979, our current building was built and occupied. In all these locations, our desire has been to know Christ and make Him known.
Thank God for faithful, caring congregations who have carried out these ministries for 74 years.
There are several reasons people respond to an invitation "altar call" after a Bible message. Some come forward to receive councel about accepting Christ as Savior, while some who are already saved come to present themselves for believer's baptism. Those who desire to unite with the church usually come forward to meet with a deacon to indicate their desire for membership. People are welcome to come and pray about matters of dedication or to receive counsel.

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.
