In a new Church News video released on Friday, Dec. 13, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the Church’s commissioner of education, Elder Clark G. Gilbert, discuss the increasing numbers of youth and young adults enrolling in the Church’s academic institutions.
“I think the Lord is working, the Spirit is working in this generation, and they feel it,” Elder Christofferson said.
The proof given by him and Elder Gilbert comes from the increase in applications and enrollees at each of the schools and institute programs operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“People will hear a story about someone who stopped going to Church or who is losing their faith,” said Elder Gilbert, a General Authority Seventy. “... In fact, young people are flocking to their faith in our Church at record levels.”
Learn more about why they feel youth and young adults are inaccurately portrayed as leaving religion and how they are showing increased amounts of faith in the video, titled “Flocking to the Church.” And hear more from both on the Church News podcast.
