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

About this church

At 16 Kent Gardens Cir in Gaithersburg, the only Latter-day Saint meetinghouse the directory lists for the city, two very different congregations meet on Sunday mornings. The Chinese-speaking Montgomery Branch opens the day at 9 a.m., and the Kentlands Ward follows in English at 11:10, with the building open from 9 until 12:10 in the afternoon. The nearest other meetinghouse is about 4 miles away in Germantown.

Anyone specifically seeking a Chinese-language service will find it in the earlier Montgomery Branch meeting. Both congregations keep sacrament meetings of roughly an hour, made up of hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks from members, followed by a second hour of classes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints charges nothing for attendance and passes no collection plate. The building offers step-free entry along with accessible parking, restroom, and seating. A short call ahead of a first visit is a sensible way to confirm the schedule, since it is set locally and can change.
