Story

Who is COMMUNITY of CHRIST?
Founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith Jr. as a prophetic people who seek Zion, today Community of Christ is a diverse worldwide church dedicated to the pursuit of peace & reconciliation.

Our mission: "We proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love, and peace."

Each of our congregations is a warm, participative community where we respect—and use—the gifts and talents of each person, from oldest to youngest in celebration of our mission. In neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and organizations, we share the peace of Jesus Christ by caring for each other, for all people, and for the earth itself.

Whether we call it Zion, shalom, the peaceable kingdom, or God’s kingdom on earth, it starts right here, right now. Together with God, we participate in building a world of peace, reconciliation, and healing of the spirit—an active, redemptive peace for all.

Salt Lake City Community of Christ is a faith community of people who share the joys & struggles of life together. We pursue peace in our individual lives, and together in our communities, and world! All are welcome to join us in experiencing the blessings of community! There is a place for you, just the way you are.
