United Methodist Church of Palm Springs exists to explore Christian traditions of spirituality and to serve our neighbors in ways that reflects God’s love. We are an eclectic collection of people from southern California and from across North America - and beyond! We are straight and gay, female and male, couples and singles, retired and working, people new to spiritual exploration, and those who have been seeking God for most of their lives. We gather each week for worship, study, community service and life groups both in person and online. We are possibly best known locally in 2021 for giving one of our buildings over as a Cooling Center during the summer season for homeless residents of the desert.
