Mission & Values
Leading every generation to the life-changing hope of Jesus
Why We Exist
Our Mission
Vista Church, formerly First Southern Baptist Church of Scottsdale, exists to lead people of every generation to the life-changing hope of Jesus.
First Southern has seen many changes during the past 50 years, including changes in leadership and staff, membership, activities, and physical buildings. However, one thing that has stood the test of time during the 50 years is the church’s belief in God and love for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The church family continues to be faithful in striving to live the Christian life and passing that faith to family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and strangers. The vision of leading souls to Christ continues to be the foundation for Vista Church.
