"Come and See" (John 1:35-41)! What a remarkable experience Seminary & Institute students are having as we seek to emulate the Savior's invitation and deepen conversion to Jesus Christ.

As President David O. Mckay once taught "Man is a spiritual being, a soul, and at some period of his life everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the infinite...there is something within him which urges him to rise above himself, to control his environment, to master the body and all things physical and live in a higher and more beautiful world" (Oct. Conf. 1928).

Bring your friends and join us, the opportunity is now.

Enrollment of friends of other faiths in the seminary and institute programs of the Church of Jesus Christ has nearly doubled over the past two years as students have invited friends to attend with them.

Have you ever thought that one truth we learn in 1 Peter 3:15 of being "ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you" could be related to religious education and other truths experienced in Seminary & Institutes of Religion?

As many of you know, Seminary & Institiutes of Religion for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints is celebrating the recent enrollment in 2026 of over One Million students globally. As Chad Webb recently shared, "We’re also grateful for the recent Public Square Magazine feature, "One Million Students, One Covenant Path,” highlighting the milestone of 1 million Seminary and Institute students worldwide and the growing impact of CES in helping young people find faith, purpose, mentors, and connection in an increasingly lonely world."

Another talking point worth sharing is the connection we learn about Religiosity and Mental Health and how Seminary and Institute factor into this equation. See how the Wheatley Institute describes this: https://wheatley.byu.edu/religion-and-mental-health
