Desert View United Church of Christ is a spiritual community that is diverse, welcoming and growing. Members, participants and visitors come from different religious traditions, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds and economic situations. We are a people of diverse spiritual gifts, abilities, ages, sexual orientations, genders and theological perspectives.
What draws us together is the really good news of Jesus the Christ (God's anointed one). We will likely express our sense of that good news with rich and colorful variety. But we'd likely agree that the gist of Jesus' message is that God is love, we are loved and called into loving and just relationships, and God lavishes us with gifts to hone and share for the common good.
We'd also agree that no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here. As a new member of the congregation recently put it: "If you took Jesus with you out of your last church, bring him here, you're both welcome." (David Johnson)
Jesus wore sandals to church; dress however you wish. In the United Church of Christ we do not insist that everyone must think alike or conform to a particular theological perspective. You are welcome to participate in all aspects of any worship service that you would find meaningful. Come as you are! Worship is at 10 a.m. Sunday mornings and on other special occasions in the Christian calendar.
