Look at everything we experienced in 2024–2025 with Shared Youth Ministry, a year full of faith, fun, service, and friendship. Our 2025–2026 journey begins this Sunday, July 27, from 4:00 to 5:30 PM at our Back-to-School Bash at St. Paul’s UMC (8051 E Broadway Blvd). Join us!

We at Desert Skies have a new beginning today as we begin worship in a new space, and we are very proud to share it with you. We invite you to worship with us as we now have a much more intimate space to praise God with one another. We loved our time at Mica Mountain and are grateful for the many blessings that came there over the years. There is a time and place for everything, and all in God's perfect timing.

Join Desert Skies UMC for a special Maundy Thursday service tonight at 6:30pm. Tonight's service will be at Arizona Senior Academy (not affiliated), and all are welcome.

Do you wake up some mornings with anxiety, uncertainty, or anger about what's happening in the world? Would connecting with a faith tradition, discussing faithful responses to the things happening around us, and finding ways to act together be intriguing to you? If so, we'd love to have you join us for a series that aims to do exactly this. Join us for Socially Principled: Living Faithfully in Today's World on Sundays at 9am at our Houghton campus (at Fort Lowell) or 11am at our Vail campus at Mica Mountain High School. Beginning this Sunday, April 13, Palm Sunday will include an introduction to our United Methodist Social Principles, For the Easter season, running through the beginning of June, we will gather each week and not just talk about faith, but put it into practice, often in partnership with other local organizations or efforts.

We invite you to join us on Sundays this Lent for our services in Vail at 11 am at The Peak in Mica Mountain High School. We have a traditional worship service with a contemporary praise and worship team. We look forward to welcoming you. We also have a Keurig if you missed your morning coffee. Let's celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ together this Easter season.
