About this Unit:

After forming the first Sunday School class for the Deaf in Salt Lake City 19th Ward in 1892, Deaf Latter-day Saints moved to the old Ogden Fourth ward for services when the at the School for the Deaf moved to Ogden in 1896. The Ogden Branch for the Deaf was the first dedicated Deaf unit in the Church, organized in 1917 and presided over by President Max Woodbury for fifty-one years, the longest serving branch president in the history of the Church.

The Branch served hundreds of faculty and students who worked and resided at the Utah School for the Deaf in a classic arts and crafts style chapel designed by Leslie Hodgson in 1916. After eighty-plus years in this building, the first to be specifically designed for Deaf members, the ODB moved to a new stake and building in January 1999.

The Ogden Valley Deaf Branch will be the host site of the 2011 LDS Deaf Symposium.

About this Unit:

On Sunday, November 14, 1949, the original Sunday School for the Deaf was organized into the Salt Lake Valley Branch for the Deaf with Willard Barlow as branch president; Spencer Hind was called as the first Deaf branch president in 1957, followed by Lloyd Perkins in 1964. In 1971, the branch was reorganized as a ward with Lynn Losee as its first bishop. The original Salt Lake Valley Ward for the Deaf existed from 1971 to 1998, before being reorganized into two wards. Several Deaf Latter-day Saint pioneers have served as leaders in this ward and it continues to meet in its uniquely designed chapel, sloped floor and all.
