Easter Sunday service inside the Paradise 2nd and 3rd Ward chapel was the last for the landmark stone building.
Next month, the 133-year-old church in the center of town will be leveled to make room for a new chapel that will serve nearly 1,000 Latter-day Saints in southern Cache Valley.
The pioneer-era church is one of the oldest Mormon chapels in Utah and, according to church historians, exhibits the uncommon craftsmanship employed by early settlers. The limestone rock chapel, completed in 1877, features architecture and construction techniques shared by earlier LDS churches and temples.
Some of these early-settler builders had worked on the Nauvoo temple, and could have naturally incorporated their knowledge of temple architecture into the design and construction of the new rock church, said Garth Norman, a contract archeologist for the LDS Church. It is said the pioneer rock church in Paradise was being built to last forever, assuming the 28-inch-thick stone walls would endure.
Generations later, they have. Norman said there is no evidence of cracking in the buildings hardened limestone walls.
Its likely construction on the Paradise chapel began in 1876 with the placement of four large cornerstones. The practice, says Norman, has both practical and theological ties.
In the temples, these stones were dedicated to Christ, the chief cornerstone at the southeast corner and offices of the priesthood at the other three corners, all reaching out to administer the restoration of the gospel to the world, he said.
Dig deeper and youll find other connections that Norman says link the Paradise building to some of the earliest church architecture. The length of the original rock church, for example, is twice its width the same design used for the largest room of the Nauvoo temple.
With so much history built into the Paradise church, top leadership carefully considered preserving the enduring structure.
Hyrum Stake President Steve Miller, the top ecclesiastical leader over the four wards in Paradise, said the churchs First Presidency was even in on the conversation to save the building, but ultimately decided to build anew.

PLACE OF WORSHIP: An artist's rendering of the transitional cathedral.
Construction will soon begin on a cardboard cathedral to temporarily replaceChrist Church Cathedral.
The designer, Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, will turn the soil on the cathedral's planned site on the former parish of St John's, on the corner of Hereford St and Madras St, next week.
It is expected the 700-person-capacity structure will be completed by December.
Ban revealed his design last August, quoting the construction cost at $4 million.
Richard Gray, of the Transitional Cathedral Group, said the diocese had ''the bulk of the money ... in hand but there will be further fundraising to meet the costs of building the temporary structure''.
''This is a very exciting next step for the project,'' he said.
''The transitional cathedral is a symbol of hope for the future of this city as well as being sustainable and affordable.
''The cathedral is confident it will attract interest nationally and internationally, drawing additional visitors to the city."

ISLE OF WIGHT A vandal went on a three-hour rampage across rural Isle of Wight County early Monday, setting vehicles ablaze, crashing into parked cars and mailboxes, and ramming a stolen van through a church gymnasium and a neighborhood store before setting that vehicle on fire.
Using tracking dogs, the Isle of Wight County deputies spent Monday afternoon searching the woods off Mill Swamp Road for the 16-year-old boy they considered a suspect in the crime spree, said Isle of Wight Sheriff's Capt. Rick Gaddis. The boy was brought into custody after 7 p.m. Monday evening. It was not immediately clear how or where he was arrested. He was not identified because he is a juvenile.
Less than a mile away from the site of the search, at Mill Swamp Baptist Church, three construction workers spent the day plugging two gaping holes in the church gymnasium's walls with plywood.
"We just don't understand it," said the Rev. Jim Jones, pastor at Mill Swamp. He pointed to tire tracks and a trail of anti-freeze marking the vandal's path: first crashing into a trailer and bus, backing up twice before ramming into the double doors leading into the church's gym and cutting path out the opposite wall of the large room.
Jones said the suspect named by deputies is a local teen who used to regularly attend the church's youth events.
"We're lucky this didn't happen during a service and that no one was hurt," Jones said.
Monday's events began to unfold around 3:30 a.m., when Isle of Wight Deputy Josh Dixon tried to pull over a gold Chevy pickup driving without headlights in the 600 block of West Main Street in Smithfield. Instead of stopping, the driver led police on a chase that ended on Great Springs Road with the driver fleeing into the woods on foot, Gaddis said.
According to Gaddis, a string of incidents followed over the next three hours. Two church vans at Sandy Mount Baptist Church, on Scotts Factory Road, and one at a nearby home were set on fire. Minutes later, a Dodge van was reported stolen from the 16000 block of Scotts Factory Road.
Next, the vandal's trail of destruction included hitting three parked vehicles and taking down five mailboxes along Raynor and Comet roads before slamming into the gym at Mill Swamp Baptist. After leaving the church, the van hit the side of the nearby Pons Store, at 7458 Mill Swamp Road, Gaddis said. Minutes later, the stolen Dodge was abandoned and found engulfed in flames nearby.
Although deputies have a detention order charging the juvenile with eluding police and failure to stop, no charges related to the vandalism have been filed yet, Gaddis said.

TWO construction workers died Tuesday morning on their first day of work for the renovation of the Our Lady of Consolation Parish Church in Opol, Misamis Oriental.
Pentecostal pastor Vivencio Gadot, 63, and Ricky Carcueva, 19, both contractual workers of Jesey M. Rosario, were crushed when a 4X2-meter old wall they started to demolish collapsed.

Gadot died on the spot after his head was crushed by the wall while Carcueva was rushed to the Northern Mindanao Medical Center but was pronounced dead on arrival by attending doctors due to internal hemorrhage.
Fr. Ronald H. Ledesma of the Our Lady of Consolation Parish said the incident happened around 7:30 a.m.
Gadot and Carcueva, along with eight other workers, were contracted by Rosario for 12 days to help in the renovation of the church.
Fr. Ledesma said the church paid the contractor P70,000 to demolish the existing two side walls of the old church and a portion of the right side of the front wall to allow dump trucks to pass through.
He said under the contract, the church will not be held liable in case something happens to the workers.
However, he said for humanity sake, the church shouldered the coffins and embalming of the victims.

CHINA GROVE When Corriher Heights Baptist Church was struck by lightning nearly a year ago, it was devastating, but the church rebounded and are looking forward to rebuilding.
The church, located at 1980 N.C. 153, was struck causing extensive damage in April, and immediately the church had offers from other churches to worship with them, but Pastor Chris Pethel had other plans.
The church cleared out their fellowship hall and began having church that following Sunday and every Sunday since.
New Grace Church of Concord donated some pews to the China Grove church.
On Saturday, members of the church gathered to break ground during an 11 a.m. service.
Weve been working on this since the church burned, Pethel said.
