What is a returned missionary?

A Returned Missionary is a person who has completed a period of volunteer service as a missionary for their religious organization, most commonly The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). These individuals typically serve for 18 to 24 months in various locations, performing service, sharing religious teachings, and supporting local communities. After finishing their mission, they return home and are referred to as 'Returned Missionaries.' This experience often shapes their personal, spiritual, and professional lives, and is highly regarded within their faith community.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a returned missionary, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Returned Missionary, individuals typically need strong intercultural communication skills, a solid understanding of religious doctrine, and experience in community outreach. Familiarity with digital communication tools, language proficiency, and church-specific training or certifications are often valuable. Adaptability, resilience, and empathy are crucial soft skills for building connections and navigating diverse environments. These skills and qualities are important as they enable effective service, leadership, and community engagement in both religious and secular settings.

What unique challenges might a returned missionary face when transitioning into a professional work environment?

Returned Missionaries often encounter the challenge of adapting to a new workplace culture after spending extended time in a highly structured and purpose-driven setting. Reacclimating to professional norms, such as flexible schedules, diverse coworker backgrounds, and differing expectations around communication and hierarchy, can require adjustment. However, many Returned Missionaries find their skills in teamwork, leadership, and adaptability serve them well as they transition. Employers often value the discipline and cross-cultural experience these candidates bring to a variety of roles.

About Us
Missionary training centers (MTCs) help missionaries understand, live, and apply the missionary purpose as stated on page one of Preach My Gospel: A Guide to Missionary Service. Missionaries learn and teach the doctrine of Christ from the Book of Mormon. They learn how to be more effective teachers by studying and practicing the principles in Preach My Gospel. They also learn how to adjust to missionary life and how to live missionary standards. Missionaries who are assigned to learn a mission language will also begin learning this language in the MTC.
