Hey parents,

Here's what's going on this month in Vista Students!

Be sure to mark your calendars for our big Spring and Summer events! 

  • Vista Students Weekend Event: February 27 - March 1, 2026

  • Student Summer Camp: May 29 - June 1, 2026 @ Camp Eagle

* More details to come soon on both these events!

SUNDAYS

Middle School Students are encouraged to join us for Refuge in the Student Room! It’s during the 8:45am service and it’ll be an hour of games, encouragement, and quality time with other middle schoolers in the ministry. If you’re new to Vista Students, this is the place to be!

Grow Group is open to high school students on Sunday mornings during the 10:15am service in the Student Room. It is a great time to meet other high school students as we play some group games and have a conversation about faith through the study of Scripture.

OUR SERIES THIS MONTH

Have you ever had a conversation that opened your eyes to something you’d never thought about before? Or maybe someone asked you a single question that completely shifted your perspective. Words have the power to change everything, and that’s never been more true than with Jesus. He asked questions that changed people’s perspectives and caused them to take another look at themselves, their lives, and what they believed about God. In this 4-week series from the book of Luke, we’ll take a look at four big questions Jesus asked. Together, we'll ask: What can you trust Jesus with today? Where did you notice Jesus’ presence today? What can Jesus rescue you from today? How can you put Jesus’ words into practice today?

STUDENT SMALL GROUPS

Wednesday Nights @ Vista
Middle School: 6:00-7:00pm
High School: 7:30-8:30pm

They happen every week, but the relationships built in Small Groups extend outside the walls of our church. They’re designed to connect every student with consistent, trustworthy adult leaders and a community of their peers.

Small Groups are the most important part of what we do. They are a time for students to have real conversations about life and faith with the goal of growing closer to God and each other. 

VISTA EVENTS

Discover the Vista is our membership class where we get a chance to go over all things Vista – mission, vision, values, our ministries, serving opportunities and much more. This will be a One Day Event where we can really discuss and dive deep into what membership looks like. You also will have an opportunity to officially join the Vista family through membership!

Join us for a relaxed, come-and-go event where coffee and conversation meet. Our pastors will be at locations around the community, ready to connect with you.

This is a great opportunity to:

  • Get to know our pastors in a casual setting

  • Ask questions about faith, church, or next steps

  • Share your story and hear theirs

  • Build meaningful connections with others over a good cup of coffee

Whether you swing by on your way to work or stay and chat a while, we’d love to spend time with you. Bring a friend, we'll pay for your favorite drink, and let’s start the day together! Register below to let us know that you are coming!

Our next Baptism is taking place during all services on October 26. If your student wants to get baptized, you can click the button below to register. If you or your student have questions about baptism, you can email us at [email protected].

  • There is a mandatory baptism class on October 19 (during the 11:30am service) that all persons being baptized must attend. If you are unable to attend this class, please reach out to us before the class.

RESOURCE OF THE MONTH

You've been told what to do in the case of an emergency. "Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others." Sometimes we're drained and at a place where we need help before we can help others, including our kids. Take a minute to help you today.
