The Desert Palms Presbyterian Church was designed and built by the Taliesin West Architects of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.  The sanctuary, Phase I, was was dedicated  November 16, 1986.  The initial design provided for seating for 500 worshipers in a 180-degree fan geometry with no worshiper being more than 48 feet from the pulpit.                       

Ground breaking for Phase II which included Fellowship Hall, Administration Building, Chapel and the Memorial Gardens (including the Columbarium) was held on December 10, 1989.  Dedication of these new additions was celebrated on November 19, 1990. 

A further expansion was dedicated on April 29, 2001 which expanded office space, expanded seating in the sanctuary,  and added a library,  a conference room, and drama and storage areas.

Desert Palms Presbyterian Church is now a congregation of over 1100 members who are active in the many spiritual, social and services activities available.  Desert Palms is also blessed with a fine Pastoral Staff and an outstanding Music Program.
