On April 5-6, millions of Latter-day Saints worldwide will watch or listen to 195th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The First Presidency, members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and other Church leaders will share messages of the gospel of Jesus Christ. All individuals, families and friends are invited to participate in each of the five sessions.

“General conference provides an opportunity to receive personal revelation as general Church leaders give counsel and direction from the Lord,” states a March 6 First Presidency letter signed by President Russell M. Nelson and his counselors, President Dallin H. Oaks and President Henry B. Eyring. “We encourage all to listen to, study, ponder and apply the counsel given.”

The April 2025 general conference will originate from the Conference Center in Salt Lake City and be broadcast worldwide. Here is information about the schedule, in-person attendance and ways to watch, listen to or follow the conference online.
