Happy #teacherappreciationweek to the Plano Stake seminary teachers! This week was also the last official week of seminary (a scripture study course for high-school-aged young people) for the school year. Congratulations to our 12 seminary teachers and 72 enrolled high school students! 

Here are some fun facts about seminary in Plano for the 2024-25 school year:

-72 students enrolled in seminary this school year, including some from other area congregations, students who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and students attending a regional online class.

- There were at least 4 formats for seminary this year, including a typical 6 a.m. weekday option, hybrid, and online. The goal is to make sure every high-school-aged student has the opportunity to participate in seminary.

- 12 teachers volunteered their time to teach these classes. 

Jeff Gunn, who leads Planos seminary program, shared: Blessings of seminary come from daily gospel and scripture study in a peer group environment. Questions and gospel understanding are answered by class discussion and investigation. Students have the opportunity to search for personal answers and receive their own testimonies while building on experienced teachers and supportive friends.

What is seminary?

Seminary is a worldwide, four-year religious educational program for youth ages 14 through 18. It is operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but is open to teenagers of all faiths.

What are its goals?

The objective of Seminaries and Institutes of Religion is “to help youth and young adults deepen their conversion to Jesus Christ and His restored gospel, qualify for the blessings of the temple, and prepare themselves, their families, and others for eternal life with their Father in Heaven” (“The Objective of Seminaries and Institutes” [2022], ChurchofJesusChrist.org)

Temples in North Texas

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been building temples since the 1830s. Temples are considered houses of God, places of holiness and peace separate from the world’s preoccupations. They provide a place where Church members can make formal promises and commitments to God to follow His son, Jesus Christ, and live righteous lives. God promises to bless and strengthen those who stay true to these sacred promises. Learn more about the temples located in North Texas below.
