Students have many excellent opportunities to participate in religious activities at BYU.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized on campus into a number of stakes composed of several wards of 150 to 175 members each. The stakes and wards are organized specifically to give individuals maximum opportunity for Church activity. Spiritual growth and a strong testimony of the divinity of Jesus Christ are goals fostered by the campus stake and ward organizations, whose programs are correlated at all levels with the activities of the university.
All single students living away from home who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints become members of one of the BYU wards. Married students not living in university housing may attend either a BYU ward or the city ward in which they live.
Approximately 25 other religious denominations are represented by BYU students. These students are encouraged to attend the congregation of their faith in the Provo area.
Devotionals, Forums, and Firesides
Each Tuesday at 11 a.m., General Authorities, other Church leaders, faculty, or special university guests speak to general devotional assemblies or forums of faculty and students in the Marriott Center. Their messages encourage education, commitment, faith, and adherence to Church standards. Once a month in the Marriott Center, usually the first Sunday evening, Church leaders speak to students in services sponsored by the Church Educational System. Many of these fireside services are broadcast live on the Church satellite television network to Institutes of Religion throughout the United States and Canada.
