Learning and Teaching in Strength

In the Book of Mormon, the prophet Helaman taught his sons, “It is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation” (Helaman 5:12). Building a foundation upon Jesus Christ—which includes coming to understand, believe, and live according to His doctrine will deepen our conversion and commitment as His disciples, protect us against the influences of the adversary, and help us bless the lives of others.

To accomplish this we must develop a deeper understanding of each of the following topics and the key statements of doctrine identified with each topic:

The Godhead

The Plan of Salvation

The Atonement of Jesus Christ

The Restoration

Prophets and Revelation

Priesthood and Priesthood Keys

Ordinances and Covenants

Marriage and Family

Commandments

This summer take the time to develop a deeper understanding of each of these topics. Study them, learn them, and come to know them "like the back of your hand".

OBJECTIVES OF S&I

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 live the gospel of Jesus Christ and strive for the companionship of the Spirit. Our conduct and relationships are exemplary in the home, in the classroom, and in the community.We continually seek to improve our performance, knowledge, attitude, and character.

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.

We adminsiter our programs and resources appropriately. Our efforts assist parents in their responsibility to stengthen their families. We work closely with priesthood leaders as we invite students to participate and as we provide a spirirtual environment where students can associate with one another and learn together.
