BYU Jerusalem Center

LDS Church services are held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays at the BYU Jerusalem Center, Church members visiting the area are welcome to attend, but services are restricted to members of the Church and tourists who are members of the Church should not invite non-members to attend Church services. The Center is located on Mt. Scopus in East Jerusalem and is easily accessible by car or taxi (public transportation is not available on the Sabbath). Please note the following: In an agreement with the State of Israel, the Church has given assurances that no efforts would be made by it or its members to induce, encourage or lead individuals in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza to take an interest in the Church or its doctrines. This agreement applies to all Church members, whether permanent residents, expatriates living the in area, or individuals on short term visits, including tourists. It applies to discussions or other efforts that might be construed to be proselytizing with anyone who is not a member of the Church, whether a resident, expatriate living in the area, tourist or other short term visitor. A simple answer to questions regarding Church doctrines or practices is: "By agreement with the Government of Israel, we do not discuss the Church's doctrines or personal religious beliefs." If asked specifically, it is appropriate to indicate that "Mormons" are Christians.
