Welcome to the Desert Southwest Conference
of The United Methodist Church
We believe God is calling us to be A COURAGEOUS CHURCH: Loving like Jesus, Acting for Justice, United in Hope.
We are a body of believers who follow Jesus Christ. We are a people of faith who hold theology as a high priority in how we live and worship, and serve God even as we acknowledge our differences. As we seek a better understanding of God, we invite you to join us as we think broadly, deeply, and creatively about how God’s grace and love are working within us to bring about transformation, discipleship, and witness.
As United Methodists, we are in ministry with people of all abilities and cultures. God is calling us to focus on growing and becoming more vital so that our ministry of praise and prayer, compassion and caring, and mission and outreach will touch lives and transform communities for many years. Explore our site and learn more about the Desert Southwest Conference, and when you are ready, we invite you to engage in one of our ministries or churches near you.
