our ministries
A place for every age, every season, and every walk of life to grow in faith and community.
At Living Word in the Desert, ministry is the heartbeat of who we are. We believe church should be more than a service you attend—it should be a place where your whole family can experience God in a real way. From the nursery to kids church, from youth to adults, every generation has a place designed just for them. Each ministry is built to help you grow closer to God, discover lasting friendships, and step boldly into your God given purpose. Take a look below to explore the ministries we offer
Children’s Ministry
At Living Word in the Desert, kids don’t just attend church, they love it! Our Children’s Ministry provides a safe, fun, and engaging environment where every child can grow in faith. With age-specific classes, interactive lessons, and exciting activities, we help kids discover that following Jesus is both meaningful and life changing.
Youth Ministry
Our Youth Ministry is the place to be for teens looking for faith, friendship, and fun! We meet every Sunday evening from 5:30pm–7:30pm, and it’s more than just a gathering—it’s an experience. With live worship, games, powerful teaching, and real conversations, students encounter God in a way that speaks to their world. This is where faith comes alive, friendships grow, and the next generation of leaders is rising.
Arise Café
Nothing brings people together like good food and great coffee! Our Arise Café opens every Sunday at 9:30am, an hour before service. Come early to enjoy fresh breakfast items, coffee, and conversation in a welcoming, family style atmosphere. Whether you’re new or have been here for years, the café is the perfect place to connect before our 10:30am service.
Men’s Ministry
Our Man Up gatherings happen once a month on Saturdays, where men come together for breakfast, brotherhood, and bold teaching. It’s all about being equipped to lead our families, serve our church, and live out authentic manhood in Christ.
Women’s Ministry
Women gather every first Wednesday of the month for a powerful time of worship, fellowship, and encouragement. It’s a safe place to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and be strengthened in every season of life.
Victory Life Homes
Through our Victory Life Men’s and Women’s Homes, we provide a place of hope, healing, and restoration. These homes are life-giving environments where men and women are equipped to overcome challenges, rebuild their lives, and step into their God given purpose. Countless stories of transformation have begun here, and your support helps us continue to change lives for the better.
