Who we are
Shepherd of the Desert is a living church rooted in Page, Arizona striving to be an outpost of service to our community and the world.
As we see it, church is not a building, not a club, and not a clique of friends with exclusive ideas. We are a welcoming group of people at varying levels of maturity on the road to becoming real followers of Jesus Christ.
This means we don't claim perfection. On the contrary, we give thanks for grace, mercy, and forgiveness in our endeavors. We experience and celebrate the positive change that comes from a relationship with our living Lord Jesus.
We have as our mission: Sharing Christ, Changing Lives! We do the sharing, God does the work! If you're looking for positive change, become part of our church family!

Love me, Lord, just for today
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin just for today. Let me both diligently work, And duly pray. Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for today. Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself Just for today. And if today my tide of life should ebb away, Give me thy sacraments divine, Sweet Lord today. So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Just for today.
