MEET THE TEAM

Our Lead Pastors

Pastors Brad and Becky were married in 1987 and have been doing ministry together ever since. In 1997 they moved from Minnesota, with their 2 children, to Chandler to say yes to God’s call on their lives to begin a new adventure in starting a church from the ground up. It began in their living room with a small group of people for a Bible study each week and began to grow from there.

They officially launched Desert Springs Church in 1998 on Easter Sunday. They were in rented facilities for 10 ½ years, a high school cafeteria and band room, former Compadre Stadium, and elementary schools. In spite of the challenges, God was extremely faithful to lead every step of the way.

Brad and Becky are hungry to make a difference and reach those who don’t yet know Jesus as their Savior and friend. They have committed their lives to create a place where people can come to know Christ, grow in Him, and find a loving group of people to do life with.

They have 2 married children and 4 grandkids who call them Pops and Lovie.
