What do you think of when you hear the word “church”? For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the church is more than just a building or a Sunday meeting. It’s a community of believers. Visit bit.ly/3CA7y65 to find a church near you, or learn more about how you can join with other followers of Jesus Christ in your area to worship, pray, study, volunteer, and socialize together.

God doesn’t love us for just an hour or two once a week. So, if the church exists to help us feel closer to God, it needs to be bigger than a Sunday service. What if believers didn’t just form a congregation? What if they formed an extended family of faith? No matter where Latter-Day Saints live, and they live all around the globe, one thing remains constant: Every member of the Church belongs to a local group of believers. It’s called a ward.
Here’s the Relief Society. Every ward has one, and together they form one of the largest women’s organizations in the world. Tonight, it looks like they’re putting together care packages for neighbors in need.
It’s not easy being a teenager these days, so every ward has a strong youth program to reinforce values and let the kids know they’re not alone.
It looks like someone needed some help moving. Oh, it must be Monday! Time for family night at home. Tomorrow is a neighborhood party, and it looks like everyone’s invited! Sunday the ward meets together, but there’s no paid clergy. Everyone volunteers their time., That includes duties in the church, and service projects around the community, or just dropping in to say hello.
It’s what Jesus Christ did, and that’s why it’s what Latter-day Saints do wherever they are all over the world.
