Gospel Foundations: A Sunday School Class for New Members and Friends

Ward councils may choose to organize an optional Sunday School class called Gospel Foundations. This class is meant to help new members and friends:

1. Feel welcome, comfortable, valued, and needed in the ward or branch.

2. Have experiences that prepare them for lifelong discipleship in the Savior’s Church.

3. Learn basic truths of the Savior’s restored gospel.

While this class is intended for adult new members and friends, returning members may also be invited to attend. Children and youth typically attend classes with their age-groups.

This course includes discussion topics and experiences to help new members and friends become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. Consider focusing on the topics and experiences that are most valuable to the people in the class.

After two to four months, new members join a Come, Follow Me Sunday School class with the rest of the ward or branch.
