Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") have a strong sense of community. Mormons do not live together in communal societies (i.e. on a compound), but gather often and serve one another. A local congregation is called a "ward". Wards usually hold many activities throughout the week including worship and Sunday School on Sunday, daily seminary classes for high school students, youth group activities, scouting troops, and women's and men's groups. Wards also host service projects, youth camps, retreats and conferences, dances, fellowship dinners and activities, genealogy libraries and sports/recreation groups. Members of the ward are all expected to contribute to operate these programs, as well as support one another in times of need. This creates a very strong sense of community and many Mormons consider their ward a second family.Mormons also find community with other church members outside of their local congregation. This sense of community comes from a combination of shared morals and experiences and unique religious beliefs and practices.
