Our Community
We're a Christ-focused community, doing our best to love and serve others. Come join us.
God can make you a better person—and you can make us a better church! Join us as we worship Heavenly Father and Jesus and try to live Their teachings.
Imagine if church extended beyond the four walls of a building to inspire us every day.
Just as a house can be turned into a home with love, so too can a neighborhood and a church become a caring community where people can connect with each other and worship Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
There's a place for everyone and a place for you.
We have programs for every age and stage of life. Each helps our members live happier, more fulfilling lives.
Sunday Meetings
Church is a refuge from the chaos of everyday life. Attending services gives us time to worship God and associate with others who are trying to be better and live more like Jesus did. It’s a spiritual recharge and helps us throughout the week.
Serving Near & Far
Church isn’t just a place to worship God; it’s also a place to serve Him. And one of the best ways to serve God is by taking care of the people around us.

Common Questions
People have a lot of questions about “Mormons,” or more respectfully, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Click here to see the full list of FAQs on this website.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are just like anyone else. They have ups and downs and everything in between. In fact, you might be surprised just how normal we can be! Latter-day Saints have a reputation for being a happy, peaceful people. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have challenges. Everyone in life is fighting a hard battle—but when you try your best to live the gospel of Jesus Christ, you have additional strength and peace to make it through.
As far as lifestyle is concerned, Latter-day Saints try to keep Jesus front and center. Their beliefs about the Savior and His teachings affect their day-to-day decisions about how they speak, dress, and act. For example, they try to avoid working on Sundays so they can attend church, serve others, and spend time with family. Faithful members of the Church also do not smoke, drink alcohol, or gamble.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has many cultural traditions and customs that focus on the family. For example, Church members reserve one night a week for home evening, or family night. Other activities throughout the week include Church gatherings like potlucks, small parties, or youth groups for teenagers. Many of our traditions are standard, like celebrating holidays with our families, and others are more unique—like offering a sacred blessing for a new baby during church. As families, we pray together, read scriptures together, and on the first Sunday of every month, we even fast for 24 hours together.
Every Sunday, we gather together to sing hymns, hear sermons, and teach each other about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Church is a spiritual recharge and a perfect way to keep Jesus front and center in our lives. We welcome all visitors to attend our Christian services and worship with us.
Church service times vary from congregation to congregation. However, you can always count on one main meeting for everyone followed by a separate class split by age groups or general interests.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a safe place where people can come for the hope of a better life through Jesus Christ. The Church provides sacred tools, practices, and teachings that help you develop and nurture a relationship with God.
