Info & Messages

Here is a word of encouragement for all of us from the familiar Twenty-third Psalm: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. --Psalm 23:4 You might want to take a look in the rooms of the Spanish ministry. They have done a great job of decorating and preparing it for their services. Remember Pastor Montoya and friends in your prayers. Looking Ahead We are looking forward to our third prophecy conference with Dr. Jimmy DeYoung on April 18 - 20, 2021. In October we plan to have a Missions Conference/Revival with Dr. Phil Stringer as our special speaker the week of October 17.

Youth & Teen Activities

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.
