Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Everybody is welcome to attend our events at the visitors’ center and worship services in our meetinghouses. Temples are for sacred ordinances and covenants members of the Church where they can make two-way promises with God. Admittance to temples is limited to qualified members of the Church. We request that all attendees use clean language and treat everyone with respect. We are Christians who do our best to follow the commandments and teachings of Christ. Whatever your background, you’re invited to join us!
The dress depends on the type of event. You’re welcome to wear any modest clothes that you feel comfortable in. But just so you know during devotionals and worship services, most men wear suits, sport coats, or shirts and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts. Children also typically dress up.
Our events are designed to be family-friendly, so children are welcome! There are some devotionals or events that are specifically for adults or teenage youth that might not keep the attention of young children. All events have clean language and appropriate topics. We are a Church that values families and teaches that families are at the center of the gospel of Jesus Christ. All events help build and uplift families, bringing them to Christ.
