About Vista Community Church

Vista Community Church is a 15-year-old contemporary style church that was planted in the Sea World area of San Antonio, Texas.  In the early years, the church gathered for worship in a variety of places that included a coffee shop, school cafeteria, and even a fire department.  Recently we purchased 5 acres and constructed our phase one building near Castroville, Texas in Medina County.  Vista’s formative years ingrained in us that the church is not a building, but a body of believers on mission with Jesus.  Our mission is to make disciples who make disciples.  We do this by teaching the Bible in a way that ordinary people can understand and obey for life change.  We also are committed to loving people like Jesus does.  At Vista, our motto is, “Come as you are and become more like Jesus.”
