*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.
The Sunday was a usual one as across all LDS worship centers. The cold morning had members and visitors anxiously arriving as it was a stake conference; the gathering together of ward, branch, etc in a distant area of the LDS church. Unlike a regular Sabbath, the day was full with many strange people like me. For this was my first ever worship here from Sioux Falls in South Dakota.
