What is the Church History Temple Tour?

  • The Church History Temple Tour (CHTT) is designed for youth (14-18) and families. We love to bring families on this tour!
  • The tour is focused on gaining inspirational and educational experiences found in the historic sites of church restoration.
  • CHTT is so named because of the emphasis placed on temples during the tour. We participate in temple ordinances in Palmyra and Nauvoo as well as visit other past and future temple sites in Far West, Adam-ondi-Ahman, and Jackson County, Missouri.
  • Registration is simple! Start by contacting Mitch Maurer using our contact form.
