Life Groups

Life Groups are the community life forum of Desert Son.  God made us for life together, to rejoice when our Brothers and Sisters rejoice, mourn when they mourn, and bear each other’s burdens through trials.  We are their keepers, encouragers, watchmen, comforters, dinner hosts, prayer advocates, study partners, etc..  And they are ours.
Adult Education
Adult Sunday School
Most Desert Son Life Groups meet two times per month.  Our current Group offerings are shown below.  More details will be communicated to you as your register.  If one of the Groups looks like a good fit, please sign up!

Questions?  Please send an email to LifeTogether@Desertson.org.  Someone will be in touch with you.

 We look forward to living life with you!
