The Wilshire Ward Chapel, formerly known as the Hollywood Stake Tabernacle, is a meetinghouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Los Angeles, California. The building is listed as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and on the Mormon Historic Sites Foundation registry.
With a maximum capacity of about 8,000 per session, the Tabernacle consistently filled to capacity, leaving thousands of attendees listening on loudspeakers outside or via broadcast in adjacent buildings. In 2000, the LDS Church dedicated a new 21,000-seat Conference Center, which became the home of general conference.
The most notable use for meetinghouses is the weekly worship service known as sacrament meeting.Every Sunday, members of the LDS Church meet to partake of the sacrament (equivalent to eucharist or communion in other Christian services), listen to sermons by members of the congregation, sing congregational hymns, and hear announcements for upcoming events.
On February 18, 1939, 1,400 people visited the church's exhibit at the opening day of the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco. This exhibit was a visitors' center portraying a reduced-size Salt Lake Tabernacle .
