What to Expect

We meet at the Octagon Barn at 10:00am on Sunday mornings. We know that going to a church for the first time can be an intimidating experience with many questions. To help ease your visit, here are a few things that will be helpful to know.

Address: 4400 Octagon Way, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

Parking: Easy, straightforward, and plenty of parking at the Octagon Barn.

 

Before the Service

When you walk in feel free to find a seat in our auditorium or grab a donut and coffee then the service will begin shortly.

Kids & Youth

We know that trusting someone with your kids in today’s world is no small thing. We have an excellent Kids’ Program with trusted and trained workers, many of whom are parents, school teachers, and those with a background in childhood education. All of our volunteers have gone through a background check process to ensure your child’s safety.

While at Vista Kids, your children will learn about Jesus in an age-appropriate, fun, engaging way, while in a safe environment. Check-in for the Kids’ Program opens 15 minutes before the service starts (9:45 am). More info on our Kids’ Program can be found here.

Middle and high school students are welcome to join us in the service.

During the Service

Worship

The worship band will lead us in 3-4 songs of worship to God. The songs we sing range from historical hymns to contemporary songs with rich and deep truth. At Vista church, this means a biblical and heartfelt response to the Living God with gratitude and praise.

Bible Teaching

After worship, one of our pastors will teach from the Bible. We believe the Bible is the inspired, inherent, authoritative Word of God; therefore, we teach it as it is, rather than teaching our own opinions. We believe in expository preaching, which simply means we aim to declare the truth of the passage in the way God originally intended it. We aim to teach the Bible in a way that is clear and understandable to all, regardless of church experience. We hope that you leave challenged and inspired to apply the Bible to your life.

Prayer

As the last worship song plays at the conclusion of each service, those who would like to receive prayer will be given an opportunity to come forward to receive prayer from a trusted member of our prayer team. We believe in a real God who offers real help and empowerment to His people, so we always make time to come to Him through prayer.

After the Service

The service lasts about an hour and a half. Once it ends, feel free to hang around and meet people afterward if you would like. For parents, please pick up your kids within 10 minutes of the service ending.
