We are ordinary people from all walks of life who love God and care about reaching our neighbors and community beyond our church walls. We try to accomplish our goal to love and serve others through partnerships and opportunities.
OUR HISTORY
In 1965, there was only one Southern Baptist Church in the growing community of Vista, CA. With surplus funds available from their own building project, Buena Vista Baptist Church's visionary pastor, B. Wade McKinley said, "Let's buy some land to build a mission on the north side of town." Four plus acres of land was secured for the grand sum of $20,000. This Mission of Buena Vista Baptist Church was named North Vista Baptist Church and was established on January 5, 1965. It wasn't until June 21, 1970 that North Vista Baptist Church (aka Lifeway) became an independent church.

WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN FAITH?
You were created to know God in personal way through His son Jesus Christ. Jesus died for our sins, was buried, was resurrected, and thereby offers salvation to all who will receive Him in faith. Unique among all other faiths, Christianity is more about a relationship than religious practices. Instead of adhering to a list of “do’s and don’ts,” the goal of a Christian is to cultivate a close walk with God. That relationship is made possible because of the work of Jesus Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
