WORK AND THE PURPOSE OF PRIMARY
Primary is for children ages 18 months through 11 years. The Primary theme is “All thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children” (3 Nephi 22:13). The purposes of Primary are to help children:
​
-
Feel their Heavenly Father’s love and learn about His plan of happiness.
-
Learn about Jesus Christ and His role in Heavenly Father’s plan.
-
Learn and live the gospel.
-
Feel, recognize, and act on the influence of the Holy Ghost.
-
Prepare for, make, and keep sacred covenants.
-
Participate in the work of salvation and exaltation.
​
Parents have the first responsibility for the spiritual and physical welfare of their children (see Doctrine and Covenants 68:25–28). The bishopric, Primary leaders, and Primary teachers support but do not replace parents in this responsibility.

Parents have done remarkable things in these unusual times to support, care for, and teach their children – both secularly and spiritually.
Thank you for your efforts! You are making a difference.

As we begin 2021, watch a special message of love for you and your children from the Primary General Presidency.
