The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Athens, Texas

About this church

The Athens Ward meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stands at 814 Belmont St in Athens, Texas. The nearest other meetinghouse is about thirty-one miles away in Palestine, and the building provides a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom, and seating.

The Athens Ward is the only congregation here, meeting Sundays at 10 a.m. The sacrament meeting takes about an hour and includes hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks from members, followed by a second hour of classes with Primary for children. There's no charge to attend and no collection plate passed. Members often dress up for Sunday, though a first-time visitor is welcome to come as they are. Because the schedule is set locally and can be revised, a quick call before a first visit is a sensible step.
