Youth

We love and support our youth! We typically have weekly Wednesday night activities at each church building starting at 7:00PM. Below are activities during which we gather together as an entire stake. We invite you to attend.

The 2024 youth theme is “I am a disciple of Jesus Christ” (3 Nephi 5:13). Corresponding theme song is now available in English youth.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

TEMPLE PREPARATION

We encourage ward trips, and as a family as often as possible. Temple recommends are required for these trips. Temple preparation classes are encouraged on a family or ward level.

GOALS

Youth are encouraged to complete at least two goals in each of the four areas each year in accordance with our handbook.

EMBLEM OF ACHIEVEMENT

During the year a young man or young woman turns 18, he or she (with parents, if desired) will have the opportunity to meet with the bishop to discuss his or her progress. In this setting, the bishop will present a certificate from the First Presidency, as well as the Children and Youth crystal. He gives these emblems of achievement to youth who are trying to become more like the Savior by striving to:
  • Study the scriptures and pray daily.
  • Be worthy of a limited-use temple recommend.
  • Participate in Sabbath meetings, quorum or class work, and seminary.
  • Work on goals in each area of growth.
  • Serve others in a personally significant way, which could include a service project.
New converts, those who have not been actively participating in Children and Youth or the Church, and those who are not members of the Church may also receive the emblems of achievement the year they turn 18 if, at the time of their interview, they are actively working to develop these patterns of discipleship. Symbols for Strive to Be are available for local events and activities.
