Institutes of Religion
The objective of Institutes of Religion is to help "young adults deepen their conversion to Jesus Christ and His restored gospel, qualify for the blessings of the temple, and prepare themselves, their families, and others for eternal life with their Father in Heaven."
Institute classes are designed for young adults, single and married. Young adults can attend institute regardless of their stage in life, whether they are preparing for a mission, in college, or working. We encourage you to find an institute class that works for you, enroll in that class, and attend regularly!
Note that there's no need to sign up in order to attend an institute class; however, you need to register for the class in order to receive credit towards graduation.
