Description
On Christmas Eve 1987 a small group of worshipers stood around a bonfire on the site of their future church and were awed by a rare Tucson snowfall.
Starting with seven couples, including the founding pastor, Dr. Jerry Elrod and his wife Sharon, these pioneers began their first services in homes. As their numbers grew the people of Desert Skies erected a modular building, then a classroom, office, and fellowship complex and finally a sanctuary that celebrated its first worship service in June, 2001. Desert Skies developed an outstanding music program including an adult Choir of over 65 members; active UMM and UMW groups, an unparalleled Youth and Children's ministry, Disciples' Bible study and other in-depth studies that include nearly 20% of the active membership and a Flea Market that must be seen to be believed.
Most of all Desert Skies cultivates a warm atmosphere where friends become family. Now embracing a membership of over 600, Desert Skies has been home to four pastors: Dr. Jerry Elrod, Rev. Lori Martin-DeWitt, Dr. Peter Vaught, and currently Rev. Dan Hurlbert and wife Rev. Susan Root.
