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

About this church

West Des Moines, Iowa's only meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is at 3301 Ashworth Rd, about 6 miles from the nearest other, in Waukee. Accessibility features include a wheelchair-friendly entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating, with the building open from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sundays.

The West Des Moines Ward meets at 9 a.m., the Spanish-speaking Capitol Ward at 10:30, the Beaver Creek Ward at 12 p.m., and the Swahili-speaking Union Park Branch later, at 1:30 in the afternoon. Each sacrament meeting takes close to an hour, with hymns, prayers, the sacrament, and talks from members, before a second hour of classes, Primary among them. Attendance is free, and a visitor can wear whatever feels comfortable. Because congregations are organized by both neighborhood and language, a Swahili-speaking branch can share this building with three English or Spanish-speaking wards. Calling ahead of a first visit is a sensible check.
