About Us
Overview
The Highland Utah East Stake is a collection of wards or local church congregations in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are located near the mouth of American Fork Canyon in the town of Highland, Utah. We have over 2,500 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 17 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.
