*By Appointment Only Monday through Saturday*
No matter your story, we welcome you to join us as we all try to be a little bit better, a little bit kinder, a little more helpful—because that’s what Jesus taught. We are a diverse community of followers of Jesus Christ and welcome all to worship here. We fellowship together as well as offer youth and children’s programs.
Jesus Christ can make you a better person. You can make us a better community. Come worship with us. Church services are held every Sunday. Visitors are always welcome.
I was a member of this ward from 1998 to 2001. I sure do miss it.

Really special place to worship. The people in the church are very welcoming and chill. If you're in the area on Sunday it's worth it to stop by and feel the spirit.
Church starts at 9:30... Finishes at 12:30.

This is a beautiful building designed by Theo. G. Ruegg and built in 1935. It's been added the the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint's list of historic buildings and although it looks much as it did when originally completed, some restorations have been planned.
The congregation that meets here starts their meetings at 9:30 Sunday morning. They begin with an hour all together, then the children split off from the adults. Wednesday evenings have a variety of activities for kids eight and up. Other activities happen regularly though those vary so you would have to make contact for more information.
The people are welcoming and always excited to see a new face. A great place to visit if you're passing through or looking for a more permanent place of worship. The only drawback is summer meetings with the windows open smelling the delicious aromas arising from the Gourmet Ghetto!
