The Sermons

Here at Desert Foothills Church, we’re all about people because GOD is all about people. One of the ways we express our love for God is through our love for each other, and we do that by helping each person who comes to Desert Foothills grow in their relationship with the Word.

Our vision is to see God transform our neighbors, community, and the world as we connect people to Jesus.
