Keep Moving Forward

You will be supported in your efforts to follow Christ as you grow in these four areas through gospel learning, service and activities, and personal development.

Gospel Learning

Gospel learning at home and church gives you a spiritual foundation for everything in your life. As you apply what you study, you may discover ways you can follow Jesus Christ individually, with your family, or with your quorum or class.

Service and Activities

As you participate in service and activities, you can have fun with your family, friends, and leaders while you learn skills, have new experiences, and serve others. You can also serve by participating in sacred ordinances. Service and activities are based on Luke 2:52 and include weekday activities as well as multiday activities for youth, such as camps, temple trips, and For the Strength of Youth (FSY) and youth conferences.
