Gathering (LDS Church)

In the early days of the church, members were asked to gather together many times in specific locations from all over the world, including traveling across the United States to the Utah Territory.

In the modern era, members are able to gather in the stakes of Zion located in their local areas and to build the Kingdom of God wherever they are, often via technology.

Alma 6:6, Book of Mormon LDS Church members are commanded to meet together often, to uplift each other and strengthen their faith in God.

[3] In high schools, primarily through the western United States, Latter-day Saint students can gather for released-time (or early-morning) seminary to learn more about the teachings found in the Standard Works.

[4] Latter-day Saints are taught that one of the main purposes for gathering is to make all of the saving ordinances available, especially those that are limited to a temple.
