The Book of Faith is an initiative of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  The ELCA is encouraging congregations to recommit themselves to studying the Bible.

At Desert Cross, we’re reading our way through the Bible in one year.  Each day we’ll have an Old Testament reading and a New Testament reading.  Each month we’ll gather together to ask questions and share our thoughts on the readings from the previous month.  We’ll also get a preview of the readings for the upcoming month.  You’ll find meeting schedules for both our Tempe site and our Gilbert site on the right side of this page.  Feel free to pick the monthly meeting that best fits your schedule.

Please participate in the daily readings and join us each month for the discussion groups.
