The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Chestnut Ward, Carlsbad

About this church

Carlsbad, California has two meetinghouses of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the directory, and this one, at 1975 Chestnut Ave, sits under four miles from the other, near Oceanside. A wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom, and seating are part of the property.

Three congregations share the building: Chestnut Ward at 9 a.m., Carlsbad Village Ward at 10:30 a.m., and Calavera Ward at 12 p.m., each with a two-hour block. Every block starts with sacrament meeting, hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks by congregation members, and the second hour is given over to classes, with Primary for the children. There is no fee to attend, and no collection plate is passed around. Attendance tends to run heaviest around 10 a.m., with the building open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Local ward schedules can change from year to year, so a quick call ahead of visiting is sensible.
