In doing our series of Churches in the Cedar City Area, I am including the Old Parowan Rock Church.  It is no longer a Church, rather it is a museum about the settlers of not only Parowan, but of all of Southern Utah.  The Church was completed in 1867 and served as an LDS Meetinghouse until the 1920′s.  It was restored in the 1940′s and has been used as a museum since I can remember.

It is located in the Town Square in Parowan, near the Parowan Library.

For more information you can check out www.parowan.org 

In continuing our series about the many wonderful Congregations that add so much to our community.  The First Church that I am highlight in this blog is the First Baptist Church.  It is a Southern Baptist Congregation it is also the location of the soup kitchen here in Cedar City.

This Church is located on 200 North near the downtown area of Cedar City.

The next Church that I am highlighting today is the Calvary Chapel in Cedar City.  It is located near the airport on airport road in Cedar City.

Again these two Churches and thier congregations are such a great benefit to our community!  We are blessed greatly by the diversity of Denominations here!

Continuing with our series on area Churches, I went North to Parowan to get some photos of some of the Churches that bless that community.  Parowan is the county seat in Iron County, and is 18 miles North of Cedar City.  It is a community of around 3000 residents and still maintains a lot of it's small town charm with several great older homes, and friendly atmosphere.

This is the Parowan United Methodist Church.  It is located on Main Street across from Parowan High School.  As you can see it is housed in one of Parowan's great older homes.

This is the Grace Christian Church.  If you Ski at Brian Head, you have most likely passed this Church it is on 200 South.

I have been a little slack in my blogging this week.  I have been putting together blogs about the many great churches that we are blessed to have in our community.  Today I have spread out a little and gone into Enoch, which is 5 miles North of Cedar City.  The first that I am highlighting is the Valley Bible Church.

Both of these churches are easy to get to off of Old Highway 91.  

Continuing with our appreciation of the diverse churches that enrich our community we are highlighting two more denominations.  One of the Churches, The Trinity Lutheran Church is just around the corner from our house.  It is also near the Elementary School.

Again there are great vistas from this Church. 

The other Church that we are highlighting today is the Church of Christ.  It is located at the Southern side of Cedar City.

Continuing with our blog to show the different denominations, we chose two that are actually near our home.  The first in the blog is the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.  This is a newer location for this congregation having moved from Enoch into Cedar City a couple of years ago.

This lower photo is the Community Presbyterian Church in Cedar City, it is across the street from the Kingdom Hall.

Again, our community is so enriched by these great congregations!

Another addition that I would like to my localism series is one about the diverse Churches here in Cedar City. Many people naturally assume that everyone in Utah is a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or the Mormon Church.  That isn't true, here in Cedar City as well as in Iron County, we enjoy a great variety of Churches.  There is a Congregation for most anyone that is looking for one.

I am going to highlight at least one if not a couple of different Denominations with each blog.  Today I have chosen to begin with the Christ The King Catholic Church.

Christ the King Catholic Church is located in the Wildflower Subdivision on Leigh Hill.  It is near the new City Reservoir and the new aquatic center. 

Another Church is the St. Judes Episcopal Church.  It is located on 200 West near downtown Cedar City.  

St. Judes is the same Church that William Shakespeare attended in England.  

This is the beginning of the series about Churches that grace our Community.  Our purpose with this series is to highlight the different Faiths that bless our community and to let everyone know that all are welcome here in Cedar City.
