LDS Church Shortens Sunday Classes, Updates Youth Curriculum

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced changes to its class meeting schedule, effective Sept. 6: Sunday School, Relief Society, Elders Quorum, Young Women, and Aaronic Priesthood meetings will be shortened to 25 minutes (Primary 55 minutes; Sacrament meeting 60). Units may adjust order to fit local circumstances, with Come, Follow Me lessons continuing for all ages. Youth curricula will adopt For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices for Young Women and Aaronic Priesthood groups, with additional content via the For the Strength of Youth magazine starting Sept. 2026. Relief Society and Elders Quorum will continue to focus on messages from the most recent general conference and daily application of teachings.
