Dear parents and leaders,
Helping young single adults strengthen their conversion to Jesus Christ is a home-centered, church-supported effort. However, we know that you don’t always know what the options are for your young single adults (YSA) and feel left out of the conversation at times.You still have a great deal of influence on your YSA and can help to influence them towards YSA worship experiences.
Knowing the variety of institute options, as well as times and places of YSA ward meetings, is crucial information to help you support your YSA.
If you have a high school senior, PLEASE READ!
Here is what we know...
High school seniors can easily get lost after high school. They need encouragement and invitations.
Attending a ward without parents for the first time is often scary and takes them out of their comfort zone.
With this in mind, we have developed a class just for seniors that we are calling "Hear Him, Know Him". From Feb-May of 2024 we had 368 Seniors enroll in institute with a total attendance count of 1534 seniors.
(topics and dates for this class are listed below).
All Classes will be held from 7-8:15 pm at the YSA stake center located at 1138 West 100 South, Spanish Fork, Utah 84660. Classes for seniors only will begin again in early 2025.
