One holds an ornate red Gospel book with gold iconography of Christ, while the other holds a tall white candle with a gold top used in the service. An open doorway and exit sign are visible behind them.

An Anglican Easter Service

Desert Mission is part of the Anglican tradition, a global Christian family rooted in historic worship and biblical teaching.

Our worship follows the historic pattern of the Christian church — gathering around Scripture, prayer, preaching, and the Eucharist. Many people appreciate the reverent yet welcoming nature of Anglican worship, which connects modern believers with the ancient practices of the Christian faith.

If you are searching for an Anglican church in Phoenix, Easter is a wonderful time to visit.


Why Christians Celebrate Easter

Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Christians believe that through Jesus’ death and resurrection:

  • sins are forgiven
  • death is defeated
  • and new life with God is possible!

The message of Easter is ultimately a message of hope: that God has acted in Jesus Christ to restore the world and bring new life to those who trust in him.

At Desert Mission Anglican Church, everything we do flows from this good news as we gather for worship and are sent into our daily lives to follow Jesus.
