About Us
Overview
The Church of Jesus Christ - Highland Ridgeview is officially called the Highland Ridgeview Ward and was created on May 28, 2023. A ward is a local church congregation in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ours is located in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains in the town of Highland, Utah and is part of the Highland Utah East Stake. We have over 400 members that gather together on Sundays to create a sense of community and worship Jesus Christ.
Worldwide Community
Together we are a worldwide faith of over 16 million members. The Church has over 30,000 congregations in more than 160 countries and territories. Each of these congregations is a local group of Saints who serve, teach, inspire, and mentor each other as they strive to overcome personal challenges and hardships, and each is led by nonpaid leaders selected from the congregation who serve on a limited-time, volunteer basis.
Mission
Our faith is centered on the belief that everyone on earth is a son or daughter of a loving God and that His Son, Jesus Christ, saved the world from sin and death. Jesus Christ invites all of God’s children to come unto, follow, and become more like Him. The mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to help all of God’s children come to Jesus Christ through learning about His gospel, making and keeping promises with God (covenants), and practicing Christlike love and service. Members of the Church believe in helping individuals and families fulfill the commandments to love God and to love our neighbor. Members do so by living the gospel of Jesus Christ, caring for those in need, inviting all to receive the gospel, and uniting families through family history and temple work.
