The Chula Vista Bible Baptist Church was organized on June 2, 1968 when a group of fifteen people, led by Ptr. Orville M. Tuck, met at the Knights of Python Hall in National City.  They began holding services in a rented facility, Marian Hall, in Chula Vista.

​

              On January 12, 1969, Ptr. George H. Pool, son-in-law to Ptr. Tuck, became pastor and Ptr. Tuck moved to Missouri.  Under the leadership of Ptr. Pool, property was obtained at the present location and an auditorium was built.  It was first occupied on Wednesday, July 7, 1971 with forty-one people present for the service.

​

              On June 20, 1976, Dr. R. C. Wetzel became co-pastor with Ptr. Pool.  From January 1, 1978, they also co-pastored the Bethel Baptist Church in Chula Vista at the same time.  In August 1979, Ptr. Pool accepted a call from Grace Baptist Temple in San Antonio, Texas and he and his family moved there.  The Bethel Baptist Church then sold its properties and merged their congregation with the Bible Baptist Church on August 19, 1979.  Additional buildings were built and occupied on June 27, 1981.

​

              Ptr. Wetzel completed 60 years of ministry in June 2010; 50 of those in Chula Vista, and 34 of them with Bible Baptist Church.  He retired on December 2015 with 65 years of ministry. 

​

              In the beginning of the year 2016, Dr. Jorge “Don” Balares and his family started attending Chula Vista Bible Baptist Church. On May 2016, they transferred their membership from Bible Baptist Church in National City; where he was a deacon and his wife, Faith was a part of the school staff. On June 26,2016, he was voted as the new pastor. He was ordained on September 4,2016.

​

             The church ministries include Sunday School for all ages, Children’s Church, Home & Work Bible Studies, Nursery, Public Ministry, Door Knocking, Tracts Distribution, Nursing Home Visitation, Music, Youth, etc. It is considered a spiritual asset to the Chula Vista community which it serves.  It is independent, fundamental, family-oriented and upholds the King James Version of the Holy Bible.
