We always encourage families to bring their children to our Shine Kids and Family Ministries services at the 11 am worship.
At Desert Springs our children’s ministry is much more than “childcare”. We intentionally structure our children’s ministry to help children get to know God and learn the Bible and how it relates to Jesus in an age-appropriate way. The lessons are fun and approachable and taught by committed volunteers and staff who serve Jesus by serving you and your kids. Trust us, your kids will love it and learn a lot!
Our children’s ministry has age-appropriate environments as follows:
Ages 3 and under
Age 4, 5 years and kinder class
1st and 2nd grades
3rd and 4th grades
5th and 6th grades
Look for the building that says Family Ministries near the south entrance of the church. Enter the building, and you will be at our check-in booth for children. Our check-in assistant will register your children for the program. This will take a few minutes, so be sure to allow time. We take the safety and security of your children seriously. All our ministry volunteers have been screened and background checked for safety. Be aware that we have cameras in all kids’ ministry areas and always follow the 2-adults rule. No adult is ever alone with a child. By checking your child in and out of our SHINE! Kids & Family Ministries you can experience the main worship service worry-free.
Lorraine Hart, Pastor of Kids & Families
Your child will use their five senses to experience the events leading up to Easter morning: share the last supper and experience the garden of Gethsemane, see Jesus and the thieves on the cross, enter the tomb, smell the burial spices, and celebrate with the angels – He Is Risen! Join us at 9:30 and 11:00 in the family room for ages 4 years to fifth graders. To expedite the check-in process, Register Your Child HERE

The 2025 Desert Springs Church’s 3rd-6th Graders Summer Camp will take place July 27th – Aug 1st at Wild Rock Camp, Forest Home.
Embark on an unforgettable adventure at Wild Rock in summer 2025! Your young adventurer will travel to the fictional nation of Mericanda, a land filled with mystery and hidden treasures! Once thriving as miners, the four distinct regions of Mericanda now live in harmony, each having forged unique paths since the gold ran dry. But when rumors spread of the greatest treasure ever to be found in the long-lost Mill Creek Mine, each region sends its bravest representative to uncover the truth. Will they locate the ultimate treasure and secure their region’s future? Or will their quest lead to empty promises?
In John 14:6, the Bible tells us that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. Will our explorers find their way? Will they find what they are looking for? Or… will they discover something else entirely? Come find out with us! We can’t wait to see you at Forest Home this summer!
Pray with us for safety and spiritual growth for all kids attending!
