Preparation for the Missionary Lessons

If your missionaries use their prepared lessons, the outline will likely follow a format that includes four main messages. These are drawn from their official training materials. While the content may vary in presentation, the core teachings generally include:

  • The Message of the Restoration (including the claim that the true gospel and authority were lost and restored through Joseph Smith)
  • Heavenly Father’s Plan of Salvation (including pre-mortal life, earth life as a test, continued progression after death, and the ultimate goal of becoming like God (meaning a god)
  • The Gospel of Jesus Christ (focused on the process of becoming worthy)
  • Becoming Lifelong Disciples (focused on the commitments expected of those preparing for LDS baptism)

Remember to stay curious and respectful. You don’t have to follow their structure point for point, but being aware of it can help you listen more intentionally and ask better questions. Also, don’t feel pressured to major in the minors. Your role is to shine light on the heart of the gospel—what Jesus has already done for us. Let that guide you as you respond.
