Construction Completed on LDS Church Meetinghouse

TWIN FALLS The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints completed construction of a meetinghouse that will service nearly 1,200 Twin Falls members.

A tour will be from 2-7 p.m. May

16-17 at 1134 North College Road in Twin Falls. The tour is open to the public and people of all faiths are welcome.

Local Christian churches are participating at the open house by featuring artwork in a display titled, Garden of the Lord.

In a gesture of Christian fellowship we have invited area ministries to come together to share their testimonies of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ through art. This unique combined effort will feature images from the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of the Savior, said Shellien Gilliland, director of public affairs for the stake, in a press release. We extend a welcome to Christians throughout the valley to come and witness the power of this exhibit.

The 19,402 square-foot meetinghouse is constructed of variegated brick and lancet arches. It consists of a chapel that seats approximately 300 people, a cultural hall for sports and cultural arts activities, 17 classrooms and three offices. The interior features, unique to this Heritage design, include an elevator to access the stage in the cultural hall, handicap ramp to the pulpit and a mothers room complete with audio feed from the chapel, sink and rocking chairs.

The three congregations that will be having their services in the new building include North Point Ward, Eighteenth Ward and Twelfth Ward, which were holding services in the North Caswell Road location. This additional building in the Twin Falls West Stake will also allow for less crowded conditions in the building on Harrison Road near Harrison Elementary since additional adjustments to meeting times and locations will be made.
