Vista Seventh-Day Adventist Church

I have gone to this church since I moved to Vista on and off (I kept up my affiliation with my church that I moved away from). I recently have been going more often and regularly. I really enjoyed how Ps Paul Lundgren would preach from the Bible and advocate answer to be found from the Bible — not just «pull non Bible supported answers out of his head». I like the smaller sized church family where one is not «lost in the crowd». I really enjoyed helping out in feeding the homeless and other outreach events that this church has organized and/​or participated in. There is potluck lunch every week and visitors are especially welcome. There is also a Bible study (currently on the Sanctuary Service) every week after potluck lunch. Every 3^rd week, there is singing and visiting of the shut ins and sick. Once or twice a month, there is a hike and all are welcome. Also, once a month there is a youth gathering and social activities. Services are on Saturdays at 930 AM for Sabbath school and 11 AM for Church Service. Wednesday night 7 PM is Bible Study at the church and there are many other small group Bible Studies during the rest of the week at different venues. The website is
. I would highly reccomend this church to anyone looking for a friendly church family that is Bible-​studying and centered on the Bible in the Vista/​North county San Diego area.

I was practically raised here — and I’ve seen it evolve and change through the years…
I remember when I was young and, after church, all us kids would run to the bathrooms to change into our comfy clothes so that we could play on the swings after potluck on the first Sabbath of the month… I remember when we used to have Thanksgiving feasts and all us kids would hide our favorite pies behind the piano in the Junior classroom… and during our classes — we’d sit there playing bible search games — and see who could squeeze someone else’s hands the hardest during prayer… without getting caught.
Now, after all this time — although we’ve all grown up and the members have changed — I still consider this my home church and remember the wonderful memories.
Pastor Paul and his family do SUCH a great job at being so warm and inviting — and they’ve done amazing at keeping that small church feel that I love SO much. There’s potluck every weekend now… and they also have two service times… and on top of the convenience and food — the message always manages to touch my heart.
Just writing about it makes me question why I don’t visit more often.
…I think, just for that, I’m going to drop by tomorrow. :)
