What is Provo Utah Known For? Mountains, Brigham Young University, and Mormons, (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, shortened version: LDS).

Over the years, Provo Utah has grown into the second largest city in Utah. Salt Lake City is the largest city in Utah.

Mormon Culture in Provo

While over 93% of Provo Utah are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, there are still people who are not members of the church who love to live here in Provo. There are other Christian domination churches in Provo. Catholics have churches in Provo and there is also a Buddhist Monastery.

Utah itself is ranked by the Gallop Poll as the most religious state which can be quite surprising when you think of the southern bible belt.

Provo is ranked as the most religious city in Utah.

When you drive around Provo, you will see LDS (Mormon) chapels in every neighborhood. The LDS chapels are where members go to church on Sundays, where the youth activities are held during the week, and social gatherings take place.
