The start of general sessions of April 2025 general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is 34 days away, scheduled for Saturday, April 5, and Sunday, April 6.
The pattern has been to have five two-hour general sessions — Saturday morning, afternoon and evening sessions and Sunday morning and afternoon sessions.
April 2025 general conference preparations
If someone wanted to prepare by rereading the messages from the October 2024 general conference in order, one talk per day, he or she should start today, March 2, in order to finish by Friday, April 4.
The October 2024 conference featured 34 messages over the five sessions. President Russell M. Nelson, President of the Church, spoke in the Sunday afternoon session. President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency, spoke in the Saturday morning session, and President Henry B. Eyring, second counselor in the First Presidency, spoke in the Sunday morning session.
Each member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles also spoke once.
