Since the inception of the restoration, the pursuit of learning has been a fundamental principle for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The scriptures emphasize the importance of education, with references found in Doctrine and Covenants sections 88, 118, and 130. These verses highlight the belief that knowledge and wisdom are vital for spiritual growth and personal development.
In a notable address in October 2009, Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf underscored the significance of education for church members, stating that it is not merely an option but a sacred obligation. This perspective has spurred a renewed focus on expanding educational opportunities for adults within the church community. Various programs and initiatives are being developed to cater to the diverse needs of adult learners, ensuring that they have access to resources that will enhance their understanding of gospel principles and improve their overall life skills.
As the church continues to prioritize lifelong learning, members are encouraged to engage in educational pursuits that align with their spiritual and personal goals.
