The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Ankeny

About this church

Ankeny, Iowa has a single meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the directory, at 721 E 1st St, roughly twelve and a half miles from the nearest other one, near Des Moines. The building includes a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom, and seating.

Three congregations share the Sunday schedule: Ankeny Ward at 9 a.m., Rock Creek Ward at 11 a.m., and Saylorville YSA Branch at 1 p.m., each keeping a two-hour block. Every block begins with sacrament meeting, an hour of hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks by those in the congregation, then shifts to a second hour of classes, Primary included for children. No fee applies to attending, and no collection plate is passed around. The building stays open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., busiest around 11 a.m. Because ward schedules can change from year to year, a quick phone call ahead of a first visit makes sense.
