Strive Every Day to Become a Better Christian

Following Jesus Christ is the greatest, most rewarding journey you can embark on. It’s an everyday decision, a collection of choices you can make throughout your life to become more like Him.

Because everyone is imperfect, sometimes we fall short—but through Jesus’s grace, you can always get back up and try again. Meet with missionaries to learn more about Jesus and how you can draw on the power of His redeeming sacrifice each day. We’ll also connect you to a community of supportive individuals who are striving, just like you, to follow Him.

Common Questions

Jesus’s teachings cover a broad range of topics, including love, service, prayer, and repentance. Here are a few well-known teachings that can guide your life:

Jesus’s teachings in the Bible

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37).

“Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:39).

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Matthew 7:7).

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth … : but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19–20).

“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4).

Jesus’s teachings in the Book of Mormon

“And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in my name” (3 Nephi 11:37).

“For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me” (3 Nephi 11:29).

“Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed” (3 Nephi 18:21).

Church service times vary from congregation to congregation. However, you can always count on one main worship service for everyone, followed by classes for children, youth, and adults.

The service for everyone is called “sacrament meeting.” This meeting consists of songs, prayers, and sermons (or “talks”) given by different members of the congregation every week. But the most important part of the meeting is when we take the bread and water of the sacrament (similar to Communion) to remember the Savior.

If you would like to worship with us, missionaries can answer your questions, share information about the time and place of your local worship services, and then save you a seat when you’re ready to visit.

Grow closer to Christ with a loving church community.
