Beginnings in January 2015

The Mesa Temple Visitors' Center was dedicated in 1981 by Elder Boyd K. Packer to be a house of worship, prayer, inspiration, reflection and a portal to the Mesa Arizona Temple
We begin this new year of 2015 with the opportunity to invite all who enter the Visitors' Center to come unto Christ
