The Samoan Congregational Christian Church of Utah celebrated its 30th anniversary with a weekend of special services, cultural performances, and community gatherings.

The church has served as a spiritual and cultural anchor for the growing Samoan community in the Salt Lake City area.

"Our church is more than a place of worship," said the pastor. "It's a home away from home for our Samoan families."

Former members traveled from as far as American Samoa and Hawaii to participate in the celebration.

Great coverage by Samoa News as always. It's crucial that we stay informed about what's happening in our neighboring islands.
