Children's Ministry Elder
The Parenting Ministry seeks to assist parents in the bringing up of their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Through God’s Word, parents are taught that the marriage relationship, training to the child’s heart, application of rich concepts of biblical discipline, and standing firm in their existing obligations to the Lord will give them hope and confidence in their role as parents. For information about upcoming parenting classes, email office@deserthillschurch.com.
Are you engaged or married, in your 20’s or 30’s, and looking for a place to grow in faith, find encouragement, and build lasting friendships? Join us at the Young Marrieds Fellowship! Our group meets regularly to dive deep into God’s Word, support each other through life’s challenges, and enjoy meaningful fellowship. Whether you’re new in your faith journey or have been walking with Christ for years, you’ll find a welcoming community here.
This group is geared toward helping dads obey the Lord in His command to not provoke our children to anger but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph 6:4). We will learn from experienced fathers who are willing to share their wisdom in raising their children in the Lord and answer our questions. We will also discuss ideas with each other and hold each other accountable to obey God in this area. We plan to meet on the 2nd Friday of every month from 6:30 to 8 pm, starting September 8th!
Mom Fellowship Group is for moms of young ones to encourage one another in our season of motherhood, seeking opportunities to learn from older women to love our husbands, love our children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind and subject to our husbands.
We meet two Friday mornings per month at church with childcare. Sign ups are required to staff childcare. We also have several Moms’ Nights Out on Friday evenings and park days.
