Teaching students the gospel of Jesus Christ 2. Teaching students by precept and example 3. Providing a spiritual and social climate 4. Preparing young people for effective church service.” (December 1992, Church Board of Education)
The Objective of Seminaries and Institutes “We have established the seminary and institute program wherever the Church has gone. It is touching for good the lives of students across the world. In the institutes young college-age students find happy association; they find learning, social experience, and even husbands and wives within the faith.” (Conference Report, October 2000, 87.)
