An invitation from your Stake Presidency

Our theme for this conference is Seek Me Diligently. Every meeting, every talk, and every hymn is intended to draw us nearer to the Savior and to one another.

  • We invite you to seek the Lord through daily study of the Book of Mormon.
  • Consider — “How can I find greater peace through Jesus Christ?”
  • Ponder and act — “How can I ‘love, share, and invite’ in preparation for stake conference?”

We invite every member of the stake — youth, adults, families, and those visiting for the first time — to set the weekend aside and come. Come with a question. Come with a prayer. Come as you are.

The Sunday morning general session will be available via Zoom, but we invite you to attend in person with us. The Spirit is felt most plainly when we gather together, sing together, and sit shoulder to shoulder with the people we have covenanted to serve.

Also, for those desiring to view the Saturday evening adult session remotely, please contact your bishop or branch president for remote viewing options.

“Abiding in Christ is not an occasional or casual act; it is a constant, conscious, and sacred choice.”

Elder Ulisses Soares
“Jesus Christ—the True Vine”
