The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Des Moines

About this church

Des Moines has just one meetinghouse in the directory, at 2101 Evergreen Ave, roughly nine miles from the closest other building over in West Des Moines. The Des Moines River Ward gathers every Sunday at 10 a.m., with the building open from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and that hour typically its busiest. An accessible entrance, parking, restroom and seating are all part of the property. The Des Moines River Ward falls under The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which maintains the meetinghouse.

The sacrament meeting lasts about an hour and includes hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks from members of the ward, followed by a second hour of classes with Primary offered to children. Attending is free, and no collection plate is ever passed. Meetinghouses like this generally include a chapel, classrooms and a cultural hall for activities beyond Sunday services. A visitor need not dress up, even though many regulars do. Since this ward's schedule is set locally and can shift over time, a quick call ahead of a first visit is worth the effort.
