About this church
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has four meetinghouses in the directory, and the one at 1682 Wood St, home to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sits about 1.8 miles from the next-closest. Wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking and restroom facilities are matched by accessible seating.
Three congregations share the building on Sundays: the South Philadelphia Ward at 9 a.m., the Independence Ward at 10:30 a.m., and the Philadelphia YSA Ward at 1 p.m.. Hymns, prayer, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks from the congregation fill the first hour of each meeting, with classes following for a second hour. There is no charge to attend. Dress ranges from casual to formal among regular attendees, so newcomers need not match it. It is worth a quick call ahead of a first visit, since schedules like this can change over time.
