Build Real Connections
Ice cream socials, a mission prep choir, and friends across the stake who are preparing right beside you.
Minister & Serve
Develop Christlike attributes by loving, sharing, and inviting — starting with the people already around you.
Be Challenged
The Mission Prep Challenges push you to grow: scripture mastery, real missionary experiences, leadership, and preparation.
For youth & young adults
Mission Prep — FAQ
Who is this for?+
Youth and young adults preparing to serve a mission — or anyone who simply wants to learn to teach and share the gospel with confidence.
Do I need a mission call to join?+
Not at all. The whole point is to prepare long before your call comes, so you arrive already knowing how to find, invite, and teach.
What does it cost?+
Nothing. It's free to enroll and free to take part.
What actually happens?+
You'll learn and practice teaching the gospel simply and by the Spirit, build friendships with others preparing alongside you, and complete real experiences that stretch you — including teaching practice lessons in members' homes.
What if I don't have a phone?+
You're still fully included. Everything important works without a phone, and a parent or leader can help you stay in the loop.
How do I start?+
Tap Enroll, fill out the short form, and a leader will reach out with class times and next steps.
For members & families
Host Family — FAQ
What is a practice lesson?+
A youth preparing to serve comes to your home and teaches a short gospel lesson — the way a missionary would. You're the family they get to practice with in a warm, low-pressure setting.
Do we need to be a 'perfect' teaching family?+
No. You don't need to prepare anything or know any answers. Your only job is to welcome them, listen, and be yourselves.
How long does it take, and how often?+
A lesson usually runs about 30–45 minutes, and it's occasional — not a standing weekly commitment. You'll agree on timing when a leader reaches out.
Who comes to the home?+
The youth, almost always with a companion, and coordinated by a leader who stays aware of every visit. Youth are never sent alone.
Can we choose who we host?+
Yes. When you sign up you can note whether you'd prefer to host young men, young women, or either.
How do we volunteer?+
Tap Offer Your Home, fill out the short form, and a leader will contact you to schedule a time that works for your family.
