2024 Come, Follow Me—For Individuals and Families
Book of Mormon
Need help focusing your 'Come Follow Me' studies?
What is Come Follow Me?
Come, Follow Me—For Individuals and Families is not meant to replace or compete with other good things you are doing. Follow the Spirit’s guidance to determine how to approach your own study of the word of God. You may find it helpful as a guide or aid for personal and family scripture study. You could also use it for home evening. The outlines highlight important principles found in the scriptures, suggest study ideas and activities for individuals and families, and provide places to record your impressions.
We have found that every individual and family in our Ward learns differently and has found ways to make their study more effective. The resources below are some of those that our Ward and friends find most helpful.
Where should we go first?
The obvious first choice for gospel learning is to go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints website. There are many resources there that can be helpful.
