The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invites all to participate in its 195th Semiannual General Conference, which will take place Oct. 4-5.
“General conference provides an opportunity to receive personal revelation as general church leaders give counsel and direction from the Lord,” states a First Presidency letter, dated Sept. 4, written for congregations worldwide.
“We encourage all to listen to, study, ponder and apply the counsel given.”
Throughout the two-day conference, millions around the world will watch and listen to the church’s leaders speak during the conference’s five sessions.
Thousands more will hear leaders deliver their messages in person at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, which for the third time since 2019 will be open at full-capacity.
See the conference’s session schedule below, as well as more details on how to watch, listen to and/or attend the upcoming general conference.
