Lead Pastor Pete Contreras founded New Vision Church at 5310 Orange Ave in College Area, San Diego with his wife Julie, building a non-denominational, multicultural congregation that conducts bilingual English-Spanish services across two campuses. The City Heights campus in the 92115 ZIP sits between SDSU and the Rolando residential grid, and elder-care visitation from the congregation's deacon team reaches residents at Atria Collwood in College Area, extending the church's service footprint beyond the Sunday gathering. Contreras has served in full-time ministry in San Diego for more than 20 years, and his multi-campus model extends internationally through church plants in Kingston, Jamaica (launched January 2026), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (established 2023), and Mukono, Uganda, where a school and feeding program supports students with two meals per day. A second campus at 6540 Brooklyn Ave in Encanto runs separate English and Spanish gatherings at 9:15 and 11:15 on Sunday mornings. The church's Southern Baptist Association membership channels cooperative-program funds toward domestic and international missions alongside its own direct church-planting work. Community food distribution events organized from the Orange Ave campus serve College Area residents on a recurring schedule, and the church's neighborhood outreach intersects with the recreational programming at Chollas Lake Park less than a mile south. Contreras's urban-church identity centers on transforming communities through discipleship rather than relocation, keeping the congregation rooted in the neighborhoods it serves.
