You're invited to be part of our annual Help Day. A day where we roll up our sleeves as a church and lend a hand to local community organisations who are making a real difference in our town. These groups do vital work, and Help Day is our way of saying thanks by picking up a paintbrush, shovel or hammer. Learn more about our 2025 recipients below

Breakfast and lunch provided
Registration $20.00 per person
Your registration helps cover the costs of the projects on the day. We’d love for everyone to be
part of Help Day, so if the cost is a barrier for you, please get in touch at info@desertlifechurch.org
