This picture is of the original church building as it was in 1952. In 1979 a very young Pastor Roger Friend & his wife Janet were asked to Pastor the little church. Pastor Roger said that he & his wife Janet would pray about accepting the position. The night before their visit to the church, Pastor Roger had a dream that took place back in Bible times. It was of a large wheat field ready for harvesting. And the people were out in the field doing the work. The next day Pastor Roger and Janet traveled to see the little church in Vista. Much to their surprise on the front of the church was a mural of women of the Bible era gathering wheat in a field. On the corner of the mural written in Greek was "Therismos" which means "The fields are white and ready for harvest." Needless to say Pastor Roger and Janet had found their new church home.

By 1985, the church was literally bursting at the seams. An additional building across the street was leased. By 1992 VCF had also out grown the larger building across the street. At this time the decision was made to move from the original church address on Postal Way to a new site near Brengle Terrace Park on Williamston Street. This is where we are presently located. Now 31 years and four children later Pastor Roger & Janet Friend are still happily leading VCF.
