First Day of Seminary

President Monson said,

“When you have the chance to be involved in seminary, whether in the early morning or in released-time classes, take advantage of that opportunity. Many of you are attending seminary now. As with anything in life, much of what you take from your seminary experience depends on your attitude and your willingness to be taught. May your attitude be one of humility and a desire to learn. How grateful I am for the opportunity I had as a teenager to attend early-morning seminary, for it played a vital role in my development and the development of my testimony. Seminary can change lives” (Thomas S. Monson, “Believe, Obey, and Endure,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2012, 128).

“Young people, I ask you to participate in seminary. Study your scriptures daily. Listen to your teachers carefully. Apply what you learn prayerfully” (Thomas S. Monson, Aug. 12, 2011).

What should I bring?

A copy of the scriptures that you can use and then leave in the seminary for the year and a positive attitude.  It's going to be a great day.

What should I expect?

Seminary is unlike any other school class you will ever have.  Expect to sing hymns, pray, read scriptures, feel the Spirit and interact with your friends and other students in a way that will bless your life forever.

Come Prepared to Get Involved

Seminary is better when every participates.  From the first day jump right in, volunteer for a prayer, share your favorite hymn, bring a spiritual story from the summer or from your scripture study.
