Our Purpose
The Objective of Seminaries and Institutes of Religion states:
“Our purpose is to help youth and young adults understand and rely on the teachings and Atonement of Jesus Christ, qualify for the blessings of the temple, and prepare themselves, their families, and others for eternal life with their Father in Heaven.”
To achieve our purpose, we teach students the doctrines and principles of the gospel as found in the scriptures and the words of the prophets. These doctrines and principles are taught in a way that leads to understanding and edification. We help students fulfill their role in the learning process and prepare them to teach the gospel to others.
To help accomplish these aims, you and the students you teach are encouraged to incorporate the following Fundamentals of Gospel Teaching and Learning as you study the scriptures together:
•
Teach and learn by the Spirit.
•
Cultivate a learning environment of love, respect, and purpose.
•
Study the scriptures daily, and read the text for the course. (Charts for tracking scripture reading can be found in the appendix at the end of this manual.)
•

•
Identify, understand, feel the truth and importance of, and apply gospel doctrines and principles.
•
Explain, share, and testify of gospel doctrines and principles.
•
Master key scripture passages and Basic Doctrines.
This teacher manual has been prepared to help you be successful in accomplishing these aims.
