About Us
Who We Are
Lifeway is a Southern Baptist Church where friends become family. We believe a church should be a community of people dedicated to serving the Lord and loving their neighbors. We're always here to offer a helping hand, a hug, or a listening ear. As a close-knit congregation, we’re blessed to have people of all ages connecting with each other, and we cherish the diversity within our church family.
Our History
In 1965, Buena Vista Baptist Church in Vista, CA, led by Pastor B. Wade McKinley, used surplus funds to buy over four acres of land for $20,000 to start a mission on the north side of town. This mission, named North Vista Baptist Church, was established on January 5, 1965. It became an independent church, now known as Lifeway, on June 21, 1970.
