Scottsdale offers many places to worship in Scottsdale, connecting seekers through faith and fellowship. Here’s a table listing all worship centers by community, from North to South. It breaks out churches in Scottsdale — like Scottsdale Bible Church and Scottsdale United Methodist Church. Scottsdale congregations, like Scottsdale JCC are included. Temples and others are also here.

A special place of worship in nearby Paradise Valley — the Franciscan Renewal Center.
Known as ‘the Casa,’ St. Francis greets all comers.
The Casa — Franciscan Renewal Center
The Casa is across the street from Camelback Mountain and its rocky feature, ‘The Praying Monk.’ Coincidence?
It’s a lovely campus and garden oasis, nestled in the desert. Beautiful murals and statuary will give you pause for reflection.
The Casa is a special place to join a church service. And, you could meet a friend, or walk solo, in the labyrinth. Find a quiet bench or rocking chair outdoors for an uplifting heart-to-heart chat. You might even gleefully see — or be — a couple getting married in the rose garden!
In addition to church events, it’s a center for all types of growth and renewal. Many programs, meetings, and retreats are hosted here.

These centers are key in our communities for practicing faith. They also serve common goods — to help neighbors and meet friends. To celebrate life’s events. And to build new skills. Please join us!
