To see that Desert Ministries becomes a valued resource concerning the care of the elderly.

Mission Statement

We value the life and wisdom of the elderly by creating opportunities for people to serve those living and working in nursing homes.

Core Values

Desert Ministries, at the 2009 Executive Board of Directors Retreat, placed it upon themselves to extract Desert Ministries’ core values.

Desert Ministries values Community.

We are a diverse and intergenerational community, unified by our faith in God, committed to the protection of, and service to our elderly.

We are who we are, because of our elders; we must protect who they are.

Desert Ministries values Relationship.

With joy and compassion, we establish relationship with our elderly, showing them respect, honor and acceptance, giving them the dignity they deserve by listening and caring.

Desert Ministries values our Elderly.

We value our elderly by honoring their history, wisdom, and joy. We gratefully accept their values and traditions as the foundation upon which we build our lives.
