  • History of the Church in Phoenix Arizona
    History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Phoenix, Arizona Mormon pioneers first settled near Mesa in 1877, but it wasn’t until 1912 that the first official Church meeting took place, when a group of nine members gathered for the first time in a room above Donofrio’s Confectionery in Phoenix. The small congregation continued to meet in various places, including a laundry shop and over a bicycle shop, until the first Church building was constructed in 1918. It was located at Seventh Street and Monroe and was built at a cost of $18,000. Two hundred ninety-eight members attended the dedication of the building, where J. Robert Price was called as the first bishop (the leader of a congregation). By 1927 membership of the Church had grown in the Salt River Valley to the point where a temple, the first in the state, was constructed in Mesa. The Mesa Arizona Temple is still in operation today and anchors a historic district, which has predominantly retained its residential character. The Church has a legacy of humanitarian service in Arizona. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many businesses experienced great financial stress, and many failed. Good Samaritan Hospital, one of two Phoenix hospitals, did not escape this fate. Hospital superintendent J. O. Sexson needed $75,000 to keep the hospital open and turned to the Church for the needed funds. He subsequently traveled to Utah and met with senior Church leaders, including President Heber J. Grant, who said, “Mr. Sexson, you have a very worthy cause, but we don’t loan money.
