Institute of Religion - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 865 Stanford Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94306

"One of the most welcoming and accepting congregations I’ve ever attended. Services are uplifting and Christ-centered, and they make sure you have a place, whether you’re a first-timer or a regular."

"I moved here to Palo Alto in September and came to church here. The moment I walked in I was welcomed by a member of the congregation! The service was great- a few speakers (men and women!), simple singing, and an optional Sunday school class after the 50 minute chapel. They did pass around bread and water for a sacrament, optional to take. No donations were asked for. Most people dressed in nicer clothing, but some in casual (jeans). There are 2 services each week - 9:30am and 12:30. This building is the meeting place for single Christians to meet and worship!"

"I started attending this congregation a few months ago and quickly felt like I found a group of friends who were beyond welcoming. The congregation is filled with young adults who love gathering and following Christ. For anyone looking for community, a church, hope or Jesus Christ, this place is for you. Visitors are always welcome!"

"I attended church here for almost 2 decades. This is where two different single congregations meet. It's a wonderful place to worship God and his son, Jesus Christ..which is the focus on the doctrine of this church. Also, they have great activities to meet other singles and enjoy worshiping in a congregation of people who are in a similar stage of life. The scriptures are taught here, including the King James version of the Holy Bible. The Book of Mormon is also taught and I highly recommend reading it as well."

"I've been attending church here weekly for a couple years now. What I love about this congregation as opposed to others I've been to is how fearlessly they address modern issues and how Christianity can be applied in today's world. Meetings are powerful and rejuvenating. Fellow worshippers are very welcoming. There are also several church-sponsored activities throughout the week to the point that the church really has become the anchor of my social life. Definitely worth a visit! Sundays at 9am or 1pm."
