- This is the FIRST EVER professionally filmed tour of the Conference Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! We are so grateful to the sister missionaries for showing us around the Conference Center and for dealing with David's jokes. Their goodness and patience is unparalleled!
Semi-annually, the LDS Church holds a General Conference for the entire world. The Conference Center is typically filled to the brim during this conference and the conference is available online worldwide, both via video and text. Come with us as we tour the conference center!!

After conference, local wards and stakes help clean that entire building. It's a huge undertaking! The rooms church leaders wait in before conference are gorgeous too. I love the conference center so much!!
That's cool, I didn't know that everyone helps out like that.
Yep I help clean whenever I can. I love it.
Seems like the church could afford to pay cleaners.
@@mikefoxtrot1314 fun fact: they used to have paid custodial staff. Gotta save every penny you can when you're, to quote David in the video, "not a poor church".
@@BrendonKing fun fact: there is STILL paid custodial staff, just scale back since the Vid. I know this because my mother-in-law is one of the leads.
I love the old man with his staff in the Jesus painting. I imagine he was like 30 when Jesus was born and around 24 when Samuel prophecies of His birth. Imagine a lifetime of faith and patience and now He, the one you've heard of for so long is right in front of you. I love it.
The older man standing with the cane is actually a self portrait of the man who painted the picture. He put himself in the painting 4 times. 3 as adults and also the woman that is holding the baby is his mother holding him. My understanding is that he is not a member of the church but was commissioned to do this.
I did not know David Snell has legs. This is a great start to the General Conference with this revealing!
XD
lolol
The sisters did an amazing job. My heart is full of gratitude for the savior and the message of salvation
"There's SO many Sisters" - David Snell
It's unfortunate that the podium was not part of the tour. It was built from a black walnut tree that President Hinckley grew in his yard. The carvings of beehives on three sides of the podium are noteworthy. They are unique identifiers of the industry, service, and mission of Church members for our ancestors and descendants.
Very cool! Yes, that would have been awesome to see in this video. Next time!
Thanks for letting LDS people from Chile to tour around this beautiful building through this wonderful video. I felt so emotional. thanks again.
It's amazing to hear how much emphasis is given to Jesus Christ and how we can have everlasting Peace through Him. Thank You Saints Unscripted for bringing us so close to the inside of this Beautiful building. I often wondered what it looked like on the inside and outside of the Conference room. Once again, Thank you!
Thanks for being here!
Except for the Masonic rituals which the video won’t show. Just making an statue of Christ just to give the impression that Christ is at the center is not enough, the church needs to follow his teachings which is largely based on the New Testament, feed the hungry, care for the poor, the needy, the orphans, the widow. This church is worth almost half trillion dollars and doesn’t have a single orphanage in a poor country, or homeless shelter, but it does own hotels, resorts, buildings, luxurious temples, shopping malls, etc. Think!
"Don't take it for granite." - David Snell.
This was a great tour for those of us who may never have an opportunity to visit in person. Thank you. 😇
I truly hope you will have the opportunity one day to see it in person. There is no other meeting space like it in the world.
Read about some of the "firsts" that were performed in the construction of this building. Also read about the construction and the tornado that ripped through the site at that time.
Gonna be so crazy to watch this in like 40 years when the saints unscripted hosts are the general authorities!
I love this channel!
We love you!
@@SaintsUnscripted Thanks for putting all the effort into these videos! An entertaining way for us to be uplifted 😁
i’d love to see this great and spacious building for myself one day! love you guys!
When people say that we can go to hell because we believe 'in a different Jesus', I really don't think a loving God would send someone to hell for believing something different about Him if that was true.
I just can't imagine God saying: 'So, you tried to live a Christlike life of serving others, huh? You did your best to have faith in me and repent...well, sorry, but you think I have a body of flesh and bones and that's a big no-no.' (For those who say we believe works save us...that's simply not the case...don't quote 2 Nephi 25, a verse lost in the context of the chapter and the book).
I love the Savior and He's truly the center of my life. I know He's the light and life of the world.
I feel like that can be applied to any religion. If you try to live a good life and help as many people as you can, it doesn't really matter what God you believe in. So far, I've only found every God to have very conditional love.
@@unicorntamer2207 Yes, I think you're right. Of course, for different reasons we believe the God you put your faith in does matter in the long run. However, responding to the claims of a different Jesus, I simply think that if Jesus is real, He wouldn't send people to hell because they believe he's a spirit, or a body, because they still see Him as the Savior of the world and put faith in Him. I don't think God has a very conditional love, I know the commandments and rules in every religion make it seem as if God hates you if you do not obey. I believe that that is not the case, regardless of what some members may say. God loves everyone, He may not reward everyone the same, but I do believe His love is unconditional.
@@GusHdzRuiz I agree. Personally, I'm agnostic. I'm comfortable with the idea of a higher power and a creator. I don't have all the answers and it might be that the atheists are right. I don't know. I was a member of the LDS church all growing up. I left at 19 because I lost my faith in the plan of salvation. I'm trying to figure things out and I'm looking all over the place and engaging in conversation everywhere. I do think that if there is a God, their love is unconditional. But I find the LDS Heavenly Father's love very conditional. He won't send you to hell but he might send you to eternal time out and banish you from ever being in his presence.
@@unicorntamer2207 I went through a faith crisis a few years ago and I read anything that could be said against the Church. I've had very special experiences since then and some answers have come. I guess I also had to accept I don't have all the answers and be ok with having faith, I hope it works out for you.
I've asked myself that too at times: is the Terrestial Kingdom really any good when you know there are people in the Celestial Kingdom? In my opinion, I think that 1. Anything sounds better than hell haha, and 2. The scriptures describe the kingdoms as containing glory beyond what we can imagine. If one would feel eternally frustrated of falling short...I don't think that would be a glory beyond what we can imagine. So I believe those places will be enough for those who end up there. As I said, I believe His love is unconditional even if He rewards everyone according to their works because He never says 'don't come', He has His arms wide open all day long.
Anyways, I hope you find a path that gives you peace and wish you the best.
@@GusHdzRuiz I'm glad we can have peaceful and engaging conversation. 😀
David, I think you just gotta let it go that people don’t think we are Christians or we believe in a different Jesus. We have the fullness of truth so who cares what others think. Let’s just show them the Jesus we love and serve by how we live and testify of him.
Do you believe that other Christians will be able to attain the same eternal blessings without accepting doctrines and ordinances specific to the LDS church?
@@mikefoxtrot1314 absolutely, and all we can do as Latter Day Saints is preach the good news of Christ and his restored gospel. We don’t need to worry about wether people think we are “Christians” or not because we know we are the TRUE Christians
@@mikefoxtrot1314 I’m not desperate for Protestant affirmation
@@reillydevine12 so if I’m not baptized, don’t take the sacrament weekly, get my endowments taken out, and am not sealed in the temple I can be admitted to the highest kingdom?
@@BrendonKing that’s a good question and I apologize for the confusion. You need to do all those things in order to live with God again. But the good news is you have the chance to accept the Gospel after you die but only if you have a humble heart that loves the Lord. I sure hope you do Brendon, God Bless
The comment section seems to become a forum for religious debate, which I'm fine with, but why is no one talking about the beautiful architecture of this building?
So no opportunity to peak inside the Little Theater? Good to know.
Is the conference center used outside of General Conference?
They do use it for some other activities
Yes! Lots of celebrations, concerts, and events are held in there
Coming back to this video after GC: I'm curious to see if anyone else felt like that was a "farewell" from Nelson?
Everything aside I felt like he was saying goodbye.
Yes I did
Me too...
Brendon, it reminded me of President Hinckley's farewell speech in the U.K.
I did not feel that. And he was in Heber City for the temple ground breaking later that week and he was shoveling at that event. I felt like he wanted to tell us more but was constrained by the spirit not to. I think he really wants us to get better prepared for the days ahead.
:)
Why is it only sister missionaries here? Why no guys?
Sister missionaries are cooler
because the mormon church know sex sells lol. Joseph Smith used polygamy as a means to control men around him and make them work for the mormon church. only Joseph Smith could who to practice polygamy. so all the mormon men literally would kill to obey Joseph Smith to sleep with many women. the current mormon may not practice polygamy but understands the principles in which sex sells and motivates people.
Gotta give the women in the church something to do, right? The church is one of THE most misogynistic organizations in the world. My heart goes out to women in the LDS church, including many women who I love.
Looks like they were going for “great and spacious building” when they built it.
If the prophets are fallible men and their teachings are not necessarily doctrines from god, then what is the main purpose of semiannual conferences?
The real funny thing is when you put the conference center and the common artist conceptualization of the great and spacious building side-by-side. Uncanny.
Are you stealing one of our paintings?
Of course not, I found it just hanging on a wall.
Heh. Jag-wires.
Ah yes, the great and spacious building up in Salt Lake City
Get thee hence Satan
Sorry you feel that way, brother. You are loved.
😂 funny line though. Well done
@@ineedoff1 I'm glad someone found it funny
@@PapaKryptoss are you going to tell me this building is not great and/or spacious?
To all who think we worship a different Christ, there is only one Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, the Only Begotten of The Father, The Savior and Redeemer of the world. We just know there are things that have been hidden changed removed from the Bible y conspiring men and the people in the Americas also had prophets who had been instructed to record their history and beliefs. The same as was done in the bible, Faithful men as directed by their Lord recorded the happenings of their day. Is it really so hard to believe that Heavenly Father would have a second witness for us to know these things are true that Jesus was the Christ that he lived and died for us? He was our example of what we need to be.
No Michael, you may need help seeing truth when you read it. Try praying with humility and an open heart about other witnesses to the Divinity of Christ. "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 10:16. Maybe he was talking about another group of people that had broken away from the branch of Judah to be preserved. If you were truly humble and honest you would pray about it because I'm sure you get the right answer
I believe you guys are saved but dont have coreect doctrine but i respect your believe and hey if you follows christ by it definition you are christians.
All we ask is for the respect. 😃
People do not agree with me on our doctrine, all I want to mutual respect.
Bro, It’s not the same Jesus! I say this out of love for you guys. We are in the birth pains right now, You don’t have much time! Please repent!
How is someone suppose to repent for something they believe to be true. That makes no sense
By adding extra narrative to the life of Jesus and changing up his role, creating a plan of salvation different than other Christians believe, yes, Jesus is different in the LDS faith. And different is okay. But it is different. Saying it's the same, doesn't make it the same.
I've been in that room on a youth trip. It's a big room. Lots of seats. I was told that the organ's smallest pipe is the width of a pencil.
People who think we worship another Jesus are blind guides trying to show us their understanding of the truth.
@@JoonyaaTV Have you ever watched a movie and loved it but then they make a sequel and maybe even a prequel, but they wrote your favorite character differently than in the original and it seems off. Like the character acts and sounds different than you would expect. That's my best analogy of what the difference is between Christian Jesus and Mormon Jesus.
@@unicorntamer2207 that's an amazing example and so relevant to the gospel. the only thing is that I can't see how you don't like the prequel and the sequel and the directors cut of the original. The prequel is that we lived in a premortal realm with personality and attributes and agency, God wanted us to grow to be like Him so he had a plan of salvation where Jesus was to be sent to die for us and live again so that we might come back to our Father. The directors cut where not only did Jesus die for our sins but he also took upon himself our weaknesses, our afflictions, our doubts, our shortcomings. He visited his people in the Americas showing he loves his children all around the world. The sequel where we can become like Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. We can have an inheritance with Jesus Christ. We can receive ALL that the Father has. We can have eternal life if we follow God's plan. In your great example of movies I testify that the gospel is in fact a trilogy not just one movie. The glorious gospel is not just contained in the Bible.
Latter-day Saints are such nice people, however, it’s not the true Jesus! We’re told in the Bible (the ONLY Word of God) that we will be deceived by those who we think we can trust in the final days. (Matthew 24:24-25) We’re also told in God’s Word that whoever adds or removes from Scripture will not have their name written in the Book of Life. (Revelation 22:19) I urge you, brothers and sisters in humanity, to turn from this false church, who adds doctrines, and who has false prophets, and turn to the TRUE Jesus, who is the Son of God, God in the form of a Man, to accept the Holy Trinity, and to ditch the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith.
The Jesus who showed up to Joseph is the same one who failed to show up when Martin Luther concocted his version of Christianity. Jesus vs Luther... Hm... I choose Jesus.
That verse in Revelation refers ONLY to the Book of Revelation, not the entire Bible which didn't even exist in the form we now have it in.
If that verse in Revelation referred to the whole of Scripture which existed at the time Revelation was written, then Christians today are guilty and condemned for adding to the (Old Testament) Scriptures too, by adding the New Testament.
@@suem6004 Martin Luther has nothing to do with modern-day Christianity. 😂 He has absolutely no form or title of Prophet in any Church.
Joesph Smith made countless false prophecies, and according to Deuteronomy, he would be a false prophet, which is a death sentence in the Old Testament.
@@1974AMDG That verse exists to the whole Bible, we know that Genesis is the FIRST book, and Revelation is the LAST book. That is why the book of Revelation is called the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the last book of Jesus Christ.
It is a different Jesus though. Not Christians!
Give it a rest already
The Jesus you say is not the "real" Jesus is the one I converted to after reading The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of JESUS CHRIST. Can we agree that salvation comes by Jesus and His name is powerful enough to tame the very elements of reality? The Jesus I know is not one who condemns most of the world for not knowing Him or believing unrevealed things about Him. Jesus is a truth-teller and a truth-giver. He sends the Holy Spirit as a truth-revealer so that all who seek may know the true nature of His love.
Thankfully, it is up to the Lord to decide. Until then, lets us oft speak kind words to each other.
Get thee hence Satan
Please, if you are a genuine believer in Christ, please read the Book of Mormon. Ask God if it is true. If it's not then you can rule it out of your life, but if you find that it is true, it will change your life for the better. There's no harm in researching to find out. God loves an honest search for truth. You should ask yourself why you spend time coming to accuse people of not being Christians, though. Spend your time in better ways. Follow Christ and let His light shine through you. People will notice a difference and want to know what you know when you do.
well done just seeing this video about a building that has spirit of the Lord, makes me cry happily...
