About this church
The McElmo Canyon Ward, affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, meets at 1700 E Empire Street, the only meetinghouse the directory lists in Cortez, Colorado; the closest additional building is in Durango, about 38.8 miles away.
Sacrament meeting begins at 9 a.m. each Sunday and runs about an hour, made up of hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks by members of the congregation. A second hour of classes follows, with Primary for children. No charge is made for attending, and no collection plate is used. Meetinghouses of this kind usually include a chapel, classrooms and a cultural hall used for other purposes. Given the distance to the next meetinghouse, and since local schedules can change over time, a call ahead of a first visit is a sensible precaution.
