Tabernacle
The program is broadcast from the Salt Lake Tabernacle, more commonly called the Mormon Tabernacle. The dome-shaped building was built between 1864 and 1867 on the west center-line axis of the Salt Lake Temple and is located inside Historic Temple Square. The overall seating capacity of the building (since its renovation) is 7,000, which includes the choir area and gallery (balcony). The central feature of the tabernacle is the large pipe organ.
Between 2005 and 2007 the program was temporarily housed in the Conference Center located across the street from Historic Temple Square.
