Our History

Desert Song Community Church was planted here in Redmond Oregon in 2004.

In 2010 the church moved to the old Ace Hardware building on 7th and Evergreen. Then in 2016 to the current location at the old Centwise Hardware/Sporting Goods Store right in the heart of the city on 5th Street.

As a church we continue to strive to fulfill the mission of Transforming the Heart of our City.

Desert Song is affiliated with Open Bible Churches. We invite you to explore their statements of faith at openbible.org.

Desert Song is also a part of the Redmond Ministerial Association and continually strives to network and build relationships with other churches, pastors and organizations within our community.
