ABOUT US
BIBLE TEACHING CHURCH
We have a high view of the Bible and we want everything we do and believe to be driven by God’s Word. We have a high view of Jesus. We want to see people become disciples of Jesus and grow as disciples of Jesus.
OUR BELIEFS
We affirm the following confession of faith, the 2000 Baptist Faith & Message.
- The Scriptures
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.

JAY HILL
Minister of Music
Jay began serving at Vista Grande Baptist Church in January 2006. He plans, leads, and administrates all facets of our Worship Ministry including choirs for all ages, orchestra, hand bells, and our drama teams. His most significant music role is in planning and leading our Sunday morning worship services. Two principles form the foundation of the music ministry. We must find a way to worship together across the generations, and we must train up the next generation of church musicians. Our morning worship services are identical, prayerfully designed to give the whole congregation the opportunity to worship. Our choral/vocal program begins at age four with an emphasis on music and worship education.

Jimmy Peck
Children’s Minister
Contact Me
Jimmy and Karin Peck are long time members of Vista Grande Baptist Church and have served in just about all areas of children’s ministry over the years. Karin continues to teach 4th grade Sunday School, and Jimmy began serving as the Children’s Minister in May of 2021. They have three children: Andrew, Aaron and Allison and one silly, little dog named Ollie.
Jimmy provides leadership and direction for children and preteens at Vista Grande. This includes Sunday School, Awana, Vacation Bible School, camps, retreats, Bible studies and various seasonal events. He enjoys seeing kids make the connection between the truths of Scripture and their everyday lives. The goal of our Children’s Ministry is to engage kids in a relationship with Jesus. Help them understand why Jesus came and the price He paid for their sins. The Bible is our foundation for that. We also want to encourage children and preteens to grow in their faith – to understand the value of consistent time in God’s Word and prayer. Finally, we want to equip them. Equip them to be servant leaders and disciple makers at church and in their homes and schools.
