Ministry Overview

Desert Hills Student Ministry exists to glorify Christ through faithful discipleship of students and their parents. We seek to accomplish this by building strong relationships with parents and systematically teaching students the Word of God.

The goal is equipped students who are biblical in their convictions, godly in their character, and capable of handling the challenges that await them as young adults.

Fundamentals of the Faith – Fellowship Hall

Sunday Mornings at 8:30am

Taught by Various Teachers

For both new/young and seasoned believers alike, Fundamentals of the Faith is an invaluable resource. It serves as the perfect tool to establish a foundational understanding and equips you with the necessary tools and knowledge to disciple others.

The Fundamentals of the Faith class is thirteen lessons that blend basic biblical truths with personal obedience and service.

Topics range from “God: His Character and Attributes” to “The Church: Fellowship and Worship.” This study is ideal for discipling new believers or realizing afresh what it means to follow Jesus.

A workbook will be needed and can be purchased for $8 when you register.

Answering Mormonism – Fellowship Hall

Sunday Mornings at 10:30am

Taught by Alex Dubois

This class will help you to evangelize Mormons, whether they be family and friends, or whether they be well dressed strangers knocking on your door on a random Saturday morning. We will interact with and learn how to respond to Mormonism’s “gospel”, Christology, first vision, revelation, exaltation and more – we will even interact with the handbook that every Mormon missionary uses in their work.

“Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.” (Isaiah 43:10, NASB 1995)

Ruth & Esther – 210

Sunday Mornings at 10:30am

Taught by Pastor Matt Yeary

These two books are powerful accounts of God’s providence, faithfulness, and covenant care for His people. Though one story unfolds in the quietness of family hardship and the other within the pressures of a pagan empire, both reveal the unseen hand of God working through ordinary people and critical moments to accomplish His purposes.
