COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is centered on the doctrine of the family and the central role families play in Heavenly Father’s plan of salvation. Course content is based on “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” other teachings of latter-day prophets, and the scriptures.
COURSE OUTCOMES
Students will increase their understanding and testimony of the true doctrine of the eternal family and the role of families in leading to happiness on earth and eternal life with Heavenly Father. Students will be more inspired and able to explain, promote, and defend the doctrine of the family, the place of the family in Heavenly Father’s plan, and how the family is the “fundamental unit of society” (“The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” Ensign, Nov. 2010, 129). Students will be more prepared to evaluate questions and sources of information in the light of scriptural and prophetic teachings.
