The picture is of the original church building as it was in 1952. In 1979 a very young Pastor Roger Friend & his wife Janet were asked to Pastor a little church in Vista. Pastor Roger said that he & Janet would pray about accepting the position. That night Pastor Roger dreamt about women in the Bible era, they were in a field gathering wheat because the fields were whitened & ready for harvest. The next day Pastor Roger and Janet drove from North Park up to the little church in Vista. Much to their suprise on the front of the church was a mural of women of the Bible era gathering wheat in a field. On the corner of the mural written in Greek was "Therismos" which means "The fields are whitend and ready for harvest." Needless to say Pastor Roger and Janet had found their new church home.

By 1985, the church was bursting at the seams so we rented an additional building across the street. Then several years later in 1992, Vista Christian Fellowship had even out grown the building across the street ... this time the decision was made to move from the original church address on Postal Way to a new site near Brengle Terrace Park on Williamston Street. This is where we are presently located. Now 27 years and four children later Pastor Roger & Janet Friend are still happily leading Vista Christian Fellowship.
