Ground preparation begins

Ground Breaking Ceremonies

Members of the community gathered January 3, 2010 in an open field at the intersection of Highway 80 and McRae Lane in St. David Arizona to participate in ground breaking ceremonies for a new church building.

History in the Making

A brief program was held with singing, prayers, and addresses by local church leaders. Prepatory work on the new chapel began about three years ago under the direction of then stake president, Paul Kartchner. Gratitude was expressed to all who helped this event come to pass.
