LDS WiFi is the guest network at Latter-day Saint buildings
LDS WiFi is a guest wireless network available at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint meetinghouses, temples, and other church facilities. It is not a single password that works everywhere — each building has its own network name and password, set by the local congregation or facility manager.
The network exists so visitors and members can connect during services, classes, events, or while waiting in common areas. Unlike a home network, it is designed for temporary use and does not require a permanent account or membership registration.
Because each building manages its own network independently, the password you use at one meetinghouse will not work at another. You will need to ask for the current password each time you visit a new location.
Key Takeaways
- LDS WiFi passwords are set locally by each building and differ from location to location.
- The fastest way to get the password is to ask a staff member, usher, or clerk at the front desk when you arrive.
- Some buildings post the password on a bulletin board, in the lobby, or on printed materials handed out during services.
- If you cannot find the password, call the meetinghouse directly during business hours and ask the person who answers.
Where to ask for the password in person
When you arrive at a church building, the easiest approach is to ask someone working there. Look for the front desk, information table, or usher station — these are the most common places staff members are stationed during services and events.
If you do not see a staffed desk, ask any member you see in the lobby or hallway. Most people will know the password or can direct you to someone who does. During Sunday services, ushers near the entrance often have this information ready.
For weekday events, classes, or activities, ask the person running the event. They typically have the password and can give it to you when ready.
Finding the password on posted materials
Many buildings display the WiFi password on a bulletin board in the lobby, on a printed card near the entrance, or in the program handed out during services. Check these locations before asking someone directly.
Some buildings include the password in their weekly announcements or on printed materials about the building itself. If you attend regularly, you may find it listed in materials you already have.
The password is usually written in plain text and may say something like "WiFi Password:" or "Guest Network:" followed by the actual password. It is not hidden or coded.
Calling the building for the password
If you are planning to visit and want the password ahead of time, call the meetinghouse directly. The phone number is usually listed on the church's website or in the member directory if you have access to one.
When you call, ask for the WiFi password or the front desk. Explain that you are planning to visit and would like to know the guest network password. The person who answers can give it to you over the phone.
Call during business hours — typically weekday mornings or early afternoons. If you call during a service or event, you may reach voicemail, but you can leave a message asking for a callback.
What to do if the password does not work
If you enter the password and it does not connect, the password may have been changed recently. Ask someone at the building to confirm the current password — it may be different from what you were told or what is posted.
Check that you are connecting to the correct network name. Some buildings have more than one WiFi network, and you need to select the one labeled "LDS WiFi" or the specific building name.
Make sure you are typing the password exactly as given, including capital letters, numbers, and special characters. WiFi passwords are case-sensitive, so "Password123" is different from "password123".
Why the password changes and how often
Local church leaders change the WiFi password for security reasons — to limit access to people who are actually at the building and to prevent unauthorized use of the network. There is no set schedule for changes; some buildings change it monthly, others less frequently.
When a password is changed, the old one stops working when ready. This is why the password you used last month may not work this month, even at the same building.
Because passwords change without advance notice, the most reliable approach is always to ask in person or call ahead rather than relying on a password you used before.
Connecting to LDS WiFi on your device
Once you have the password, connecting is the same as connecting to any other WiFi network. On your phone or tablet, open the WiFi settings, find the network name (usually "LDS WiFi" or the building name), and select it.
When prompted, enter the password exactly as you were given it. Your device will connect and you should have internet access within a few seconds.
If you have trouble connecting after entering the password correctly, restart your WiFi by turning it off and back on, or restart your device entirely. If the problem continues, ask a staff member at the building to check whether the network is working properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the LDS WiFi password the same at every church building?
No. Each building sets and manages its own password independently. A password that works at one meetinghouse will not work at another, even in the same city. You will need to ask for the password at each location you visit.
Can I use LDS WiFi without being a member of the church?
Yes. LDS WiFi is a guest network available to anyone at the building, regardless of membership. You do not need to be a member, have an account, or provide any personal information to connect.
What if I cannot find anyone to ask for the password?
Call the building's main phone number during business hours. The person who answers can give you the password over the phone. If you reach voicemail, leave a message with your name and phone number, and someone will call you back.
Does the password expire or change automatically?
There is no automatic expiration. Passwords change only when local leaders decide to change them for security reasons. Changes are not announced in advance, so the password you used last time may not work on your next visit.
Can I share the LDS WiFi password with someone who is not at the building?
Technically you can share it, but the password is intended only for people physically present at the building. Sharing it with people outside the building may violate the building's network policy. If someone wants to use the network, they should visit the building and ask for the password in person.
