*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 know that Heavenly Father loves each of His children, and I’m reminded of that every time I go here!

My family and I are lifelong members and we started attending this ward building after we moved here in June 2024. We’ve felt right at home ever since. Everyone has been so warm and welcoming—it’s such a kind, genuine group of people. We’ve loved getting to know members from so many different backgrounds and life experiences. It’s been a wonderful place for our family to grow and connect.

My testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began with reading the Book of Mormon. The book of Moroni (the last book of chapters in The Book of Mormon) chapter 10 vs 4, has a promise no other author, or book can claim. I put the promise to task and I felt an assurance that all I was reading was absolutely the truth. Holding this book, is holding a miracle in your hands. I so testify!

52 years ago today,October 20, 1973, my dad baptized me and 3 of my 5 brothers. I was confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and given the gift of the Holy Ghost by Elder Ron Allen, with Elder Jeff Haskell and Bill Robertshaw assisting.
I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the church. I know Joseph Smith was called by Heavenly Father to restore the church in this time. I know we have a prophet on earth today, that was called by Good, and that is currently Dalin H. Oaks. I know the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and goes hand in hand with the Bible. I write these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
