I really love this design! I am also pleased to see that it is a stark departure from the cookie cutter design of our chapels that has prevailed for several decades now. I understand why the Church takes a standardized approach in our building designs, but I would love to see a revival in more unique chapels. And please, please: mid century modern style church meetinghouses! 😊
What style is that? Explain. I hope it’s okay to mention this, but I think that some temple styles needed to be redone to better show who we are, and who we were in the early days. But temples are temples. Whatever style they choose, it should be pleasing to the Lord. That’s for sure!!
What a beautiful temple led by Jesus Christ our redeemer lord and savior. God bless you and remember that the Holy spirit never misleads a surrendered heart. 👉♥️👈
This is just breathtaking stuff, beautiful building with magnificent views.Heavenly Father has blessed the saints so much🥺🔥🔥❤🙌🏽🙌🏽.I'm forever grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
We are so blessed to have more churches that are close to us, so that we can learn more about Jesus Christ, our devine purpose, and destiny, and his great love for each of us! We are all so very important to him!
It was a pleasure to provide and layout all the casework and millwork in this building. It was a very unique experience, very different from traditional church building.
The hub of a City goes and comes in lots of directions , a meeting House the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints . That is great News , to have a place of rest to come worship. Jesus Christ name Amen.
Kevin Pearson is a great person ,I cant believe he came to our small little ward in Hikurangi,Northland ,New Zealand some years ago,He bore his testimony and there was only about 50 people in our ward that day,He said he came from Chicago, a CEO of a medical company of 5000 employees ,he said he felt humbled to be amongst us,and he remembered everybody's name and a very intelligent man and said he didnt know why he was in our ward that day considering theres only sheeps and cows outside and in the country ,he said he learnt why he was there,he saw we hugged and greeted each other ,and said that's how the lord does things,thank you brother pearson I've never forgotten ,God bless you.
I'm Maori (born in Dannevirke, NZ. Raised in Hastings and Hamilton, NZ. Have lived in Redlands CA since 1988. Thanks for sharing this wonderful memory. Oh, and my mother is from Waimamaku, Hokianga, NZ, up by you.
I've been in a few meetinghouses outside of Utah that were primarily re-purposed buildings or sections of buildings, and it's cool that some interesting features of those are showing up here in this design. I'm the sort that appreciates beautiful design and buildings that are meant to bring people together, and I'm glad that the church sees that here. Keep in mind, everyone is welcome to come to a church when it is open, and I really appreciate that we can have these kind of publics spaces even in a downtown environment.
It's neat to see how much is being invested in keeping downtown Salt Lake City alive and vibrant. If it weren't for continual efforts, a city like Salt Lake could easily become run down.
Hi, thank you for tuning in and sharing your comment. We hope you know you are always welcome. Visit comeuntochrist.org?cid=42001274 to find a Church unit or meetinghouse near you.
Speaking directly to us in our day in Mormon chapter 8: 37 For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.
An excellent point, but what's happening here is part of the challenge of striking a balance between having nice buildings for all to use, and taking care of the poor. In fact, the church takes great care to ensure they give to the poor all while managing things like this building. One can have nice things, without forgetting the poor. Not that I'm saying more couldn't be done, more could always be done.
@@kenton6804 I understand that line of reasoning to justify the current state of affairs, however the Book of Mormon is very clear that we are off balance. We simply love mammon more than God. That's not my opinion, but a statement of fact from the Lord. We can either choose to believe that and repent, or grab the nearest pacifier and reassure ourselves all is well in Zion.
There must have been a need to have this building here in downtown. They couldn’t just build a shack mid downtown. The church is known worldwide for its humanitarian efforts. Not to worry
@@Avoicecyringinthesuburbs C'mon, man, quit judging the church by saying "we simply love mammon more than God." I've attended church in trailers, and the singing was accompanied by a small programmed synthesizer provided by the church. I've also attended church in a small meeting room used for a lot of other functions; our singing accompaniment was on a small stereo with CDs provided by the church. I've also attended church in a large chapel whose membership reached 800 and there was a pipe organ in front. And just FYI, I've attended conference in the venerable Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. Just because the church provides lots of money (paid to the church by tithes) for meeting houses and temples doesn't mean that WE love money more than God, nor does the church leadership. I live in a SMALL one room apartment, but I still pay my tithes and offerings. And yes, I love my God and my Savior.
@@livinthedream4479 Alma 32 10 Behold I say unto you, do ye suppose that ye cannot worship God save it be in your synagogues only? There really is no need for it, but there are a lot of people in need in the church regardless of the humanitarian efforts made by the church. Again, I am not the one making the accusations, the Prophets and even the Lord himself have made those accusations towards us in our day in the scriptures. The only way around it is to deny God's word.
reminds me a bit of the meeting house in New York City that I used to attend years ago and then also the Hyde park chapel downtown London that we attended here and there.. Nice.. with so many more members in the high rise apartments they needed to create more inner city chapels.. this works !
That's cool. It reminds me of the Spain MTC that I attended that was located on the top floors of the hotel that is on the grounds of the Madrid Temple for members to stay in when they travel to the temple. Using resources effectively and wisely.
Glad they finally made some sensible decision to make use of lot in prime location for mix-usage instead of using the entire lot only to build a chapel\stake centre.
Wow! What a fantastic chapel in the middle of the bustling commercial district of a big city. So neat, modern but yet so solemn at the same time. Congratulations on its dedication on the 10th of April 2022. In my country it's already April 10, 2022.
I live a few miles away (Bountiful), but I would love to go there for sacrament meeting someday. Could someone please tell me where to find it in Salt Lake?
I feel great because for a long time I was thinking on the same idea, I don’t mean the architects took my idea away, because I’m not an architect I am an UX designer, and I was thinking that by just building a meeting house in some locations. I was thinking not only commercial also residential, mixed. But it cannot be fully residential because you need parking space for the visitors on sundays.
I wish we would make bigger Chapels in Utah; it’s silly to have two meeting houses across the street or down the block. You don’t need to build this massive like this one in other areas. This is truly a beautiful building. I hope more of the older chapels go under renovation to give them a more modern fresher look. -Chad James
Beautiful house of the Lord. Amazing and spacious! Just ac expressed in chapter 12 and chapter 20 of what more and more returned missionaries and many, many others are now sharing with everyone they love and are prompted to share: “The Sealed Portion, The Final Testament Of Jesus Christ PDF “ by Pearl Publishing
Are from the Left Coast? The East Left Coast? Utah is one of the most beautiful states in the nation: high mountains with many ski resorts, EVERYTHING you need and want is there: concerts, plays, ballet, opera, theaters, scenic drives through beautiful canyons, fishing, hunting, beautiful neighborhoods, great schools and universities. Love it.
It looks like the exterior of the Provo temple...the one they're tearing down. It looks cold in my opinion and not all that inviting. At least it will smell good, unlike many of our buildings that smell musty and need new carpet, cushions recovered and drapes.
The best part about this meetinghouse to me is that, hopefully, those using the office space above it will be curious to find out more more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I'm poor (retired old fart on a LOW fixed income). I live in a one room apartment, drive a seven-year-old TINY car, and attend church in a beautiful church building where I LOVE to attend and am welcomed by EVERYONE in the church. But I do my best to pay my tithes and offerings to help feed other poor people and those disadvantaged. Yes, there are MANY poor people who love the Lord and love to attend church. Money is not an issue.
May God in his infinite goodness bring you to the truth faith, that of the Holy Catholic Church. I pray that you may have a conversion so that you may one day be saints among saints in the halls of Heaven.

Indeed, thank you for your comment!
Jesus christ serve of gospel mission all over the world
What a beautiful temple led by Jesus Christ our redeemer lord and savior. God bless you and remember that the Holy spirit never misleads a surrendered heart. 👉♥️👈
That’s going to be our new church building! I’m excited for this new opportunity and hope the Sacrament preparation room is bigger than our old one.
What's the ward?
I have worked in an office several floors up in that building. The whole place is lovely, including the office spaces. It’s all very well designed!!
That is wonderful. Again the saints set the example for the world to invite all to Jesus Christ.
This is just breathtaking stuff, beautiful building with magnificent views.Heavenly Father has blessed the saints so much🥺🔥🔥❤🙌🏽🙌🏽.I'm forever grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

Wonderful! 🌟
Wonderful, beautiful and appropriate! Having two wards able to meet at the same time is a real benefit also.
I want that Relief Society room!!! That is so cool haha

This is so beautiful. This looks almost like a temple. Wow
It does remind me of the chapel and Temple in Manhatten.
It looks amazing! If we’re ever in SLC on a weekend, I’d love to bring my family to attend.
Awesome chapel. And we can’t get our stage 3 upgrade to our chapel. In Melton Australia.🙏👍🇦🇺
Wonderful 🙏place of learning 🙏
I want to attend services at that meeting house 💛🙌🏼

Love it. That chapel will be a blessing to the people it serves.
I want to go to church there! What a gorgeous building.
I LOVE the natural light in the chapel. Why can't all building have that? Don't we believe that light is symbolic of truth?
My chapel has natural sunlight and it's beautiful when we have morning 9am church!
That's cool. It reminds me of the Spain MTC that I attended that was located on the top floors of the hotel that is on the grounds of the Madrid Temple for members to stay in when they travel to the temple. Using resources effectively and wisely.
I really admire this church
We're glad you're here. Thanks for your comment!

This is very stunning! I hope I can see it someday!❤
This chapel is beautiful, and the relief society is beautiful
💕This is awesome💕Now I want to move to downtown Salt Lake💕

Beautiful building, wish we had padded pews in Australia haha.
What a beautiful building.
Beautiful ❤️❤️
What Blessings God Gives everyone who asks for not only their self but other people who are indeed in need
Beautiful ❤️
I visited a week or so ago and it is absolutely beautiful, and the member we met was so kind!
Beautiful chapel !!
It sure is!
I live a few miles away (Bountiful), but I would love to go there for sacrament meeting someday. Could someone please tell me where to find it in Salt Lake?

Very cool! I'll have to check it out sometime
It reminds me of the Hyde Park chapel in London. Looks fantastic!
Well done.
love this. our urban buildings and units are a real delight, and i wish we had more of them
How bout build a shelter for our many homeless vets
There are several Veterans' Homes in Salt Lake City.
Unique and beautiful, well done!
I dreamed of a city with skyscraper temples. People will be able to live anywhere one day, regardless of language.
It is Beautiful ❤
❤❤
Wow! Love it.
So glad!
Beautiful house of the Lord.
Amazing and spacious!

Thats so amazing!
Beautiful, ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! It’s stunning and inviting! ❤️
It really is!
It looks like it is designed similar to the Manhattan New York City Temple.
Beautiful 😍❤️
I've watch the entire building grow from the ground up.
and the NYC temple.
That is cool, but I would never live in Utah.
Are from the Left Coast? The East Left Coast?
Utah is one of the most beautiful states in the nation: high mountains with many ski resorts, EVERYTHING you need and want is there: concerts, plays, ballet, opera, theaters, scenic drives through beautiful canyons, fishing, hunting, beautiful neighborhoods, great schools and universities.
Love it.
Beautiful. Well done.
Wonderful!
Looks fantastic.
this is so cool. love it
Amazing! Love the view they have!
Look beautiful 🤩
It looks like the exterior of the Provo temple...the one they're tearing down. It looks cold in my opinion and not all that inviting. At least it will smell good, unlike many of our buildings that smell musty and need new carpet, cushions recovered and drapes.
Makes me even more proud to be a Latter Day Saint
Very pretty...I'd love to see it in person!
In Denver there is also a skyscraper built around the Church of the Holy Ghost. I used to hear the bells when I worked in the building.
This is very clever
Beautiful!
Rich people 🥺
Nuthin wrong wid that, Govner.
Our TITHES AND OFFERINGS help build all our church structures ❤... We are "rich" in GIVING, and of The SPIRIT OF GOD ❤❤
The best part about this meetinghouse to me is that, hopefully, those using the office space above it will be curious to find out more more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
This chapel is amazing building by angels.
Cant wait to visit!
Gosh they love their buildings and spend millions on them. What about the poor where do they fit in?
Attend some of their meetings and find out
Research it. We spend millions and do a lot to support and help the poor.
Who said that the poor cannot fit in? The church is not for rich people
I'm poor (retired old fart on a LOW fixed income). I live in a one room apartment, drive a seven-year-old TINY car, and attend church in a beautiful church building where I LOVE to attend and am welcomed by EVERYONE in the church. But I do my best to pay my tithes and offerings to help feed other poor people and those disadvantaged.
Yes, there are MANY poor people who love the Lord and love to attend church. Money is not an issue.
Beautiful!!!
Very nice!!
This is so cool! What an innovative way to create a chapel.
Anyone know the ward boundaries for this chapel?
There are 2 chapels. 6 wards will meet.
Wonderful... adapting to the needs of the Saints
❤️❤️❤️
Would be cool to see it become a temple in the commercial space some dayz
wow
How neat!
❤
Wow! That’s really cool!
May God in his infinite goodness bring you to the truth faith, that of the Holy Catholic Church. I pray that you may have a conversion so that you may one day be saints among saints in the halls of Heaven.
Are Catholics and LDS not all Christians? Would a just God turn away the believers of either church?
Nope. God looks upon the heart.
Awesome 👏
Wow. Wonderful!
The replica of the Social Hall is at This Is The Place Heritage Park.
SO AWESOME
Sweet
Looks similar to the Hyde Park Chapel in London.
🤘🥰🤘...... ❤️❤️❤️
OMG talk about giving the best to wealthy members
Where is parking?
That's pretty cool!
I'm not a Mormon anymore but that's amazing
