Former Mormon Tabernacle Choir Director Donald Riplinger leads a rehearsal at the new Latter-day Saints stake facility in Mountain Home on Saturday.

The choir practice was part of an open house hosted by the local Mormon community at their new building on South Haskett Street.

During the afternoon, the church congregation showcased the features of their new stake, which serves as the central administrative facility for eight LDS wards and two branches based in Mountain Home, Glenns Ferry and Grand View.

In addition to serving as a place of worship, the nearly 24,500-square-foot multi-use facility will serve a variety of purposes for the entire Mountain Home community.
