What's in a name?

Christ as their Savior through faith and not works. Baptists believe in the autonomy of the local church (that non-denomination thing again). Baptists also believe that once one is saved, they should make that profession of faith public by submitting to believer's baptism by immersion. It is from this practice that the name Baptist is derived. Find out more of what we believe here.

What's the difference between Desert Springs and a non-denominational church?
There are many non-denominational churches with similar beliefs to ours. They are baptistic in their beliefs about salvation, baptism, autonomy of the local church and other core doctrines.

There are other non-denominational churches whose doctrine differs from that of Desert Springs. Some of these might believe that one must be baptized in order to become a Christian. Others might teach that once you have become a Christian, you can lose your salvation over and over again if you mess up.

Many of these doctrinal differences are pretty important and have eternal consequences! The problem is, you might attend a church for some time before you discover what they truly believe or teach. That is why we choose to be called Desert Springs Baptist Church instead of Desert Springs Community Church or simply Desert Springs Church. We want you to know who we are right away with no nasty surprises down the road.
