Vista House attempts to accomplish the overall mission of Mere Christianity Forum by creating a location where authentic, intentional Christian community is fostered, the good, true and beautiful is pursued, and the growth of the entire person is encouraged.
Our off-campus facility, Vista House, is a living, relational community of Christians who model and share the vision and love of Christ. Vista House serves both the Furman University and greater Greenville community with the preparing and serving of meals, the creation of a warm and inviting atmosphere suitable for discussion and retreat, and the forging of genuine relationships with others through community. Members of the Vista House community and regular attendees of the Mere Christianity Forum attempt to model the holistic Christian life. The goal of Vista House is to paint a vista, a landscape, of the beauty and truth of the Christian life in a comfortable environment by persons living in an intentional Christian community.
The first floor of the Vista House is a gallery space, which we have called Sparrow Gallery. Our pasture is also set aside as space for larger sculptures and installation pieces. If interested in learning more about the gallery please contact a Vista House community member or our director, Rimes McElveen.
