Missions & Outreach Efforts

The purpose of Desert Springs Church’s missions & outreach efforts is “to continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ.” Whether close to home or abroad (on a short-term trip or a long-term appointment) exciting missions & outreach opportunities await. We invite you to engage in this missional outreach with us as we faithfully serve our local and global communities. Desert Springs offers vital hands-on help, financial support, and most importantly spiritual support. Please join us! Let’s reach out and touch lives by building relationships in the church, in our community and in the world.

“Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”
Proverbs 11:25
