At Desert Springs Church we strive to know, grow and go with Jesus! How do we do that? We believe people discover their true purpose and identity by knowing God through a study of His Word with a group of other Christ-followers. Desert Springs offers a wide variety of options on how to study the Bible; At-Church Bible studies and At-Home Life Groups. Both of these involve studying the Bible, but they differ in their primary focus and structure.
At-Church Bible studies are typically more structured, with a focus on learning and understanding biblical content. At-Home Life Groups, on the other hand, emphasize building relationships, mutual support, and applying biblical principles to daily life.
Regardless of study type, they are open to all. Our goal is to help you grow in your knowledge of God’s Word in ways that make a difference in your life. Whether you’re a new believer, a long-time follower of Christ, or just curious to learn more, join us… Newcomers are always welcome!
