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

About this church

Austin, Minnesota has one meetinghouse in the directory, at 404 31st St NW, with Albert Lea, about nineteen miles off, home to the nearest other. The Austin Ward gathers weekly at 10 a.m., with the building open until 12 p.m. Level entry access, marked parking, a restroom built to accommodate wheelchairs and accessible seating are all on site. The Austin Ward operates under The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which keeps up the grounds.

Hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks from ward members fill the first hour, with a second hour of classes and a Primary program for children close behind. The meeting is free to attend, with no offering basket in sight. This ward covers a wide stretch of southern Minnesota farmland, since congregations here are drawn by geography rather than convenience. There's no dress code a first-time guest needs to worry about. As with most locally set schedules, ringing ahead before a first Sunday isn't a bad idea.
