The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Palo Alto

About this church

Palo Alto's only Latter-day Saint meetinghouse, at 3865 Middlefield Rd, hosts two congregations several hours apart: Palo Alto Baylands Ward at 9 a.m. and Palo Alto Foothills Ward at 12 p.m. The nearest other meetinghouse is just 1.9 miles away in Los Altos, and the building stays open from 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon.

Each ward keeps its own hour-long sacrament meeting, structured around hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks given by members of the congregation rather than clergy, followed by a second hour of classes that includes Primary for children. There is no charge for attending and no collection plate passed at either service. Many regulars dress formally for Sunday, though visitors are welcome regardless of attire. The building provides wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, restroom, and seating. Because The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaves meeting times to local leaders, and those times can shift, calling ahead before a first visit is a sensible precaution.
