Hi Desert View Family,

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to develop, we as a church have been continually monitoring developments and looking for ways to maximize the safety of our congregation and community while also seeking to continue ministry with as little interruption as possible. We are grateful to you for your flexibility and grace as we seek to navigate our way through this unprecedented situation.

As you probably know, Gov. Ducey signed an Executive Order yesterday (click here to read the text of the order) limiting the size of public gatherings and closing certain selected types of public accommodations. While this alone carries great weight for us as a matter of community responsibility, we are also aware of several cases of Covid-19 within our church family (although none that would directly affect those who have been gathering with us on campus recently), as well as a large increase in cases in our immediate vicinity, including in the communities of Anthem and Desert Hills.

In light of these realities, we have made the difficult decision to suspend in-person worship services for the next four Sundays (7/5, 7/12, 7/19, 7/26) to coincide with the duration of Gov. Ducey’s Executive Order.

Recorded services will be available each weekend at www.desertviewbible.org, beginning at noon on Saturdays.

Of course, as the situation continues to develop, we will be continually reevaluating our approach and will communicate any changes accordingly.

We are all disappointed with the current situation, and have come to this decision reluctantly, but we understand our responsibility to our congregation and our community to share the love of Christ in every way, which includes doing our part to keep our community as healthy and safe as possible. We thank you for your patience and understanding during this time, and we look forward to seeing you again in-person very soon!

As always, please reach out to us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns. Thank you!
