Teenage members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are encouraged to attend Seminary classes. Seminary is usually held before or after school at a local church building or in someone's home. In Utah, high schools are allowed to offer religious classes as non-credit electives, so most Utah high school students can attend Mormon Seminary during the school day.
Seminary is a four year program, with each year focused on one of the following subjects: Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, and Church History. Seminary is a mix between a Sunday School class and a school class. The class is opened with a hymn, prayer, and devotional, then the teacher lectures and guides a more scholarly study of scripture. You do not have to be Mormon to attend Mormon seminary, so if you are interested in seeing what it is like you are welcome to attend, your Mormon friends should know when and where the classes are held. You can also download the textbooks for these classes too see what they study at the "Related Links" below.
Similar classes are available to college students and young adults ages 18-30. This program is called Institute of Religion. There are more classes available through the Institute program, and Institutes also offer social activities and worship services. Non-Mormons are welcome to attend all the Institute classes and activities as well. Check out the "Related Links" to find an Institute near you or to download the textbooks for the classes offered through Institute.
Unlike most other Christian churches, Seminary is not required to be ordained or to preach within the Mormon church. For Mormons, Seminary and Institute are a way for young people to learn more about their religion and to spend time with others who share their standards and beliefs. It is not a training program or school to become an ordained preacher.
