For Children Ages 18 Months – 11 Years
Primary
A home-centered, Church-supported organization where children come to know Jesus Christ, feel His love, and build a lifelong foundation of faith.
Our Purpose
What Is Primary?
Primary is the children's organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It meets every Sunday as part of the regular worship block and provides an uplifting, nurturing environment where children ages 18 months through 11 years learn about Jesus Christ, develop faith, and discover who they are as children of a loving Heavenly Father.
Primary teachers and leaders serve with love, supporting parents, who are the primary gospel teachers in the home. The Come, Follow Me curriculum connects what is taught at church with what families study together at home.

"Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."
