What is a seminary institute?

A Seminary Institute, often referred to simply as 'Institute,' is an educational program typically provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) for young adults, usually ages 18-30. It offers religious education classes that focus on scripture study, faith-building, and personal development. The classes are designed to help students strengthen their understanding of gospel principles and apply them in their lives while also providing a supportive spiritual community. Institute programs are often held near college campuses and are open to both church members and non-members.
