About Us

Eden Heights Congregation

Eden Heights congregation was formed in the early 1940's when the original building was built. The building had a new sanctuary added in the late 1950's. Eden Heights has continued to be a vibrant congregation within the community and the Church throughout the years. The congregation is made up of around 250 members.

We continue to worship in a more traditional manner in harmony with early Church teachings. We also continue to use the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' name with World Church approval.

We would invite you to come and worship Jesus Christ with us and feel the testimony of the Lord's Spirit through worship, preaching, teaching, prayer and testimony and congregational activities.

"...I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me; And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God. And whoso believeth not in me, and is not baptized, shall be damned. Verily, verily I say unto you, that this is my doctrine; and I bear record of it from the Father; and whoso believeth in me, believeth in the Father also;...Therefore go forth unto this people, and declare the words which I have spoken, unto the ends of the earth." III Nephi 5:33-36; 43
