Who Are We?

The Vista/Oceanside church of Christ is made up of people who have been drawn together for worship and service by a common faith in Jesus Christ. We wish simply to be called Christians, and we make it our goal to live up to all that such a glorious name represents.

As individuals, we share a fellowship with Christians all over the world. When we were saved, the Lord added us to His universal church (Acts 2:47). The Head of the church is Christ; its headquarters is in heaven (Ephesians 1:20-23).

As a local church we are self-governing; that is, we do not answer to or follow the direction of any man or council of men outside of the congregation. We adhere to no human creed. We are free to study, teach and work as the Bible leads us. The Scriptures alone tell us what is good for us to do (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Our Worship

Since the scriptures are our only guide in religious matters, it is our desire to do everything the scriptures teach, and nothing else. Thus, our worship is confined to that which is described in the New Testament.

1.) We celebrate the Lord's supper on each first day of the week in remembrance of our crucified Savior (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). In this observance, Christians eat unleavened bread and drink the fruit of the vine, which are symbols of Christ's body and blood.

2.) We praise God and teach one another by singing Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, without the aid of mechanical instruments of music, just as Christians did in New Testament times (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16).

3.) We pray often, knowing that God's ears are always attentive to the requests and praise of His children (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Matthew 7:11; 1 Peter 3:12).

4.) The work of the church is financially supported by the free-will giving of church members each first day of the week (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). We do not beg non-members for contributions, nor do we attempt to raise funds by other methods not mentioned in Scripture.

5.) Realizing that saving faith comes from hearing God's word (Romans 10:17), the teaching and preaching of the gospel is given a prominent place in our assemblies.

Who is a Christian?

The scriptures teach that all men can be saved by the grace of God, who loved the world so much that He sent His Son to die for our sins (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:5; 1 John 2:2) The gospel is the explanation of God's grace and love; it alone contains God's power to save men (Romans 1:16). In order to be saved, one must be willing to hear God's word (Romans 10:14, 17). Upon hearing God's word, the Scriptures teach that there are four things one must do to be saved and become a Christian. The proper response to the gospel is as follows:

  1. Believe, Romans 10:10; Hebrews 11:6; Mark 16:16.
  2. Repent (turn away from sin), Acts 2:38; 3:19.
  3. Confess Christ as Lord, Romans 10:9-10.
  4. Be baptized in water for the remission of sins, Acts 2:38; 8:36-38; 22:16; 1 Peter 3:20-21.
  5. Continue to grow in faith each day, 1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18.

If you are not a Christian, it is our hope that you will become one. Our primary goal is not simply the numerical growth of the Vista/Oceanside church, but we do desire to help all interested men and women follow after Christ and go to heaven. If we can help you to that end, please contact us. Someone from the church will be happy to study God's word with you. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have about what we believe and practice. If  you are in the Southern California area, come visit us.

Directions

We are located between Interstate 5 and 15 just off the 78 freeway. From 78 take the Emerald off ramp. Go south one fourth a mile up the hill. You will see the building on your right at the top of the hill. This is an area between the cities of Vista and Oceanside, California.
