About The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Defiance
Attending church each Sunday is a respite from fast-paced daily living. Attend church at 701 N. Clinton St. to reflect, worship God, strengthen your spiritual connections, and focus on Jesus. Worship with a community of people who are trying to be more Christlike and learn from each other. The main meeting is called sacrament meeting. This meeting consists of songs, prayers, sermons (or “talks”) given by different members of the congregation, and the sacrament (or Communion). Come feel the love of the Savior as you worship with us.
