LDS Activity program for YM
From LDS.ORG:
"PREPARING A RIGHTEOUS GENERATION OF YOUNG MEN Building young men with strong testimonies in the Lord Jesus Christ, helping them magnify their priesthood duties, and preparing them to fulfill their divine roles as righteous husbands and fathers are the purposes of the teacher and priest activity program." |
Message from the Young Men General Presidency: As adult leaders and advisers of young men, our purpose may be summarized in this way: Help young men become converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ, magnify their priesthood duties, and fulfill their divine roles. To assist in achieving that purpose, we invite Young Men leaders to focus on three principles, always looking to the example of the Savior: As we apply these principles in our Young Men activities, we will strengthen the young men of the Church. We invite you to study these principles by clicking the link below and to seek guidance in incorporating these principles into your activities. |
