I Am New Here
Visiting any church, especially a new one, for the very first time can be a tough experience. Where to go? What to wear? What time to show up? What's here for my kids? What can I expect? These and many more questions often surface. Well, we want to put you at ease. Your first visit to Desert Hills Baptist will be refreshing, friendly, and enjoyable for your whole family. We want you to experience inspiring music, helpful teaching and preaching, friendly people, and a place where you feel welcome and "at home" with us! Here are a few answers to your questions and what you might expect on your first visit.
You can't miss our location for all surfaces at the Jasinski Elementary School 4280 S. 246th Ave., in Buckeye. You should recognize our signs throughout Buckeye, and right in front of the school. As you pull up to the school campus you will be directed toward the main entrance to the school, and from there greeters will direct you to the multi-purpose room where the main service is held, and the ancillary rooms where we have child development (nursery), and children’s classes.
2.What’s Available for our Children?
Starting with excellent child development (nursery), there is something special for every age child from birth through sixth grade! At every service on Sunday morning there is safe, clean, and highly staffed child development care for those two years of age and younger. For the infants, mothers will receive a notification so that the nursery attendants can easily contact you if there is a need. For children three years old through sixth grade there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centered classes. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child. We have child development (nursery) available for every service, and on Wednesday Nights we have a children's program called the Masters Club which is similar to the Awana Clubs.
3. What Are the Services Like?
Sunday mornings, you can participate in encouraging and uplifting music, as well as enjoy singing new anthems, choruses, and uplifting hymns. You will also enjoy inspiring music from soloists and special groups. The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Zamora. Each service is just a little over one hour in length.
We also have a Sunday evening service (completely different from Sunday morning) that begins at 6:00 p.m. Again, in this service you'll enjoy the special music as well as a challenging and helpful message from Pastor Zamora. We also meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. for a mid-week Bible studies for Adults, teen, and our children's program for those 4yrs-6th grade. If you can't be our guest on Sunday morning, we hope you'll visit with us during another service time.
4. Do You Offer Small Groups?
We offer small groups on Wednesday Night. Currently we have three small groups for adults, one for teens, and Master Club for children. These groups meet so that people can have Fellowship, Identity, and personal Bible Study. The three Adult groups are The Horizons Class (ages 18-34), The Ambassadors Class (ages 35 - 54), and the Triple L Class--Live Longer and Like It (ages 55+).
5. How Should I Dress?
There is not a dress code at Desert Hills Baptist for members or guests. Some people dress in jeans and a polo, some people dress in suits and dresses, some people dress business casual, but understand that our main goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable on your visit here at Desert Hills Baptist!
6. Am I Expected to Participate in the Offering?
No. We don't invite you to Desert Hills for your offering. We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will find a warm family spirit, truth from God's Word, and a place where you can grow in God's grace. Please don't feel any obligation to participate in the offering as a guest.
If there's something we missed on this list, just give us a call at 623.202.2822, email us at info@dhbcb.org , or ask someone when you arrive. Whether you're new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it's been a long time since you've attended church at all, we hope your first visit at Desert Hills Baptist will be awesome! We exist to serve you and your family, and we are looking forward to meeting you personally. We hope you'll feel right at home from the very first moment you step on the campus! Let us know how we can serve you better, and we hope to meet you this Sunday!
