Springfield Missouri Stake Latter-day Saints

Tomorrow is the day! Join us via the live stream!

We had a great Stake Conference weekend! We loved having Elder David A. Winters, Area Authority Seventy, preside at our conference. President John Lawson was released as second counselor in the stake presidency, and President Ken Teague was called as the new second counselor. We will miss the Lawsons as they move to New York City, and welcome President Teague to the Stake Presidency!

During the conference, we talked about some history of the church in Springfield as we celebrate the groundbreaking of the Springfield Temple this week. Below is the photo of the High Street Chapel at the dedication by Heber J. Grant in September of 1927.

It’s been 100 years since The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square performed at the Hollywood Bowl—and we’re excited to celebrate this historic return together. Mark your calendars now—you won’t want to miss this special night of music, inspiration, and community. Join us for a local Hollywood Bowl Watch Party!

On Sunday, May 17, 2026 the Pomme de Terre Branch was formed in the Springfield Missouri Stake. This new branch was formed from parts of the Bolivar Ward, Clinton Ward, and Buffalo Ward. The branch currently meets in Pittsburgh Missouri, but will move to a branch building in Hermitage in the coming months.

The Pomme de Terre Branch is led by President Julio Prieto (Branch President), Christian Prieto (1st Counselor), and Michael Grassford (2nd Counselor).

We are excited to have this new branch in our stake!

Members from several wards in the Springfield Missouri Stake volunteered at the Salvation Army’s canned food sorting event. Thanks to the many volunteers who who came to help, the project was completed a day earlier than expected.
