Palm Springs Baptist Church and Nueva Vida Inglesia Bautista

Palm Springs Baptist Church
                      and
Nueva Vida Inglesia Bautista
Palm Springs, California

"Palm Springs Baptist Church is a member of the Conservative Baptist Association of Southern California. The Conservative Baptist Association of Southern California started in 1954 as an association of churches and ministries coming together to defend and promote the gospel of Jesus Christ. We continue to establish, encourage and strengthen churches throughout Southern California, Hawaii and Guam." (Link.)

The building complex at 1696 El Cielo Rd., at the corner of  El Cielo Rd. and  Escoba Dr., is also the home to the Neuva Vida Eglesia Bautista Church which offers an 11:30 am Sunday morning worship service in Spanish. This church was incorporated in the year 2002.  (Wikipedia) However, at the  Sunday School children from both church groups join and English and Spanish is spoken.

The campus of the two churches is made up of several semi attached buildings including: the Worship Center with the Sanctuary for Sunday morning services, the church office, and the social hall.  In large letters above the multi doored entrance to the Worship Center are the words "Send Out Thy Light and Thy Truth", Psalm 43:3.

Sanctuary of Worship Center

The large sanctuary is highlighted by a pointed roof giving the effect of a dome.  The  hanging rectangular electric candle lantern light fixtures enhance this traditional feeling of the room.
