The Dayspring Columbarium Ministry is prayerfully discerning an important initiative: the establishment of a columbarium on our Tempe campus.
A columbarium is a sacred, consecrated space designed to house the cremated remains of the faithful departed. Rooted in Christian tradition, such spaces provide a place of reverence and remembrance, assuring families that their loved ones rest within the care of the church.
Why a Columbarium?
The benefits to our congregation are profound:
- For individuals: It allows members to make final arrangements in advance, bringing peace of mind and sparing loved ones difficult decisions in times of grief.
- For families: It offers a holy place of prayer, reflection, and remembrance within the church that shaped their loved one’s faith journey.
- For our community: It stands as a visible reminder of our hope in the resurrection and the eternal bond we share as the body of Christ.
By creating a columbarium at Dayspring Tempe, we affirm our calling to care for one another in all seasons of life. We hope this ministry will bring comfort, dignity, and continuity to our families—now and for generations to come.
