Sharing the Church Magazines

The Church magazines include three print and digital products—the Liahona for adults, For the Strength of Youth for youth, and the Friend for children—which are translated into a variety of languages. In addition, a digital product called YA Weekly provides messages specifically for young adults.

These global magazines are filled with inspirational messages from Church leaders, gospel teaching activities for families, and faith-promoting stories from members around the world.

In a letter to members worldwide, the First Presidency called the magazines a “valuable resource” for gospel study. “Our desire is that members everywhere will subscribe and welcome this faith-sustaining influence into their hearts and homes” (First Presidency letter, August 14, 2020).

While digital content is available on the Church website and the Gospel Library app, print versions of the magazines are available through a subscription. Members can give a gift subscription through store.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

Who could give a magazine gift subscription?

  • Ministering brothers and sisters for those they visit

  • Parents for their children

  • Grandparents for their grandchildren

  • Primary teachers and youth leaders for the children in their classes

For leaders:

You can direct new members to the Gospel Library to find the Church magazines, either in the mobile app or on the Church website. According to recent direction from the First Presidency, if new members prefer a print edition, unit funds should be used to purchase them a one-year subscription. Additionally, wards and branches should provide ongoing subscriptions to the magazines for children and teens who attend church without their parents.1

How to subscribe:

  1. The online store: https://store.churchofjesuschrist.org/usa/es –> Magazines –> Subscriptions. You must log in with your church account.

  2. Calling Global Service Department directly: Phone numbers for each country can be found at https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/help/support/toll-free-numbers-gsc?lang=en
