The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Rivanna Ward, Charlottesville

About this church

The Rivanna Ward meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is located at 2985 Hydraulic Rd in Charlottesville, Virginia, one of two the directory lists in the city. The other meetinghouse is about 4.6 miles away, and this building includes a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom, and seating.

Three congregations share the building: the Rivanna Ward at 9 a.m., the Spanish-speaking Charlottesville 3rd Branch at 11:15 a.m., and the Charlottesville YSA Ward at 12:45 p.m. A visitor looking for a Spanish-language meeting will find one mid-morning. As congregations are organized geographically, several sharing one building at staggered hours is typical. A sacrament meeting takes about an hour, with hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks from members of the congregation, followed by a second hour of classes, Primary included for children. None of the three charges for attending, and no collection plate makes the rounds. Sunday dress is common among members, though a first-time guest can arrive however they like. Because local leaders occasionally adjust this schedule, a quick call ahead of a first visit is a sensible step.
