The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Amherst Ward, Buffalo

About this church

Buffalo, New York lists two meetinghouses of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the directory, and the one at 1424 Maple Rd has another about 9.5 miles away elsewhere in the city. Here in Buffalo, the building offers a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating.

The Amherst Ward meets at 10 a.m., and the Williamsville YSA Branch follows at 12:30 p.m., each holding an hour-long sacrament meeting of hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks from congregation members, with a second hour of classes afterward, Primary included. Attendance is free, and no collection plate circulates. Many wear Sunday clothes to the Amherst Ward, but a visitor is welcome to come as they are. Congregations here are organized partly by age as well as geography, which explains the two groups sharing the building. Since meeting times are set locally and can shift, a quick call ahead of a first visit to Buffalo is worthwhile.
