Kingdom Hall

Jehovah's Witness meetinghouse

Kingdom Hall is the place of worship used by Jehovah's Witnesses.

Unlike churches with steeples or ornate architecture, Kingdom Halls are typically plain, functional buildings designed for meetings and Bible study rather than ceremonial worship: We drove past the Kingdom Hall on our way to school.

The name reflects the Witnesses' emphasis on God's kingdom as central to their faith.
