We are united in our purpose to follow Jesus Christ, strengthen homes, and serve our community with compassion.

Can I attend if I'm not a member of the Church?

Are members of the Church Christians?
Yes. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we follow Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God, our Savior, and the foundation of our faith.
Some of our beliefs and practices may differ from other Christian denominations, but our commitment to Jesus Christ is unwavering. We try to live His teachings every day and become more like Him.
What are Church services like?
Most congregations follow a similar Sunday schedule. Services begin with a main gathering called a sacrament meeting, where we sing hymns, pray, and hear uplifting talks shared by members of the congregation.
The most sacred part is the sacrament (similar to communion), where we remember Jesus Christ and renew our commitment to Him.
Afterward, smaller classes are held for children, youth, and adults. These classes are a chance to learn, ask questions, and build community.
