Names are important. They're how others know us and they tell a story about who we are. And on Sunday, March 30, 2025, our historic church (97 years in our community!) voted to choose a new name to better communicate who God has called us to be.

The name we chose for our future is Vida Church. It's a dual-language, Spanish-English name that represents who we are! There were four main reasons we chose this new name:  

1. It Reflects Our Identity: As one church serving in both English and Spanish, the dual-language name perfectly captures our unique prophetic assignment
2. It Speaks to Our Community: With 96% of our immediate neighbors being Hispanic and 80% speaking Spanish at home, this name helps to bridge cultural gaps
3. It Represents the Culture of God’s Kingdom — by blending languages, we’re reminded that no matter what else may make us diverse, we are ONE in Christ
4. It Carries Spiritual Significance: “Vida” means “life” in Spanish — so every time we’d say our church name, we’d be declaring the transformative power of Jesus, who is “the way, the truth and the life,” and came so we “may have life and have it abundantly” (John 14:6 & 10:10)

Our new name does NOT mean we're leaving our roots or our Foursquare tribe! We're still the same church we've been — but with a with an updated name for our future.
