Institutes of religion provide religious instruction for Church members who are between the ages of 18 and 30. These classes are not only for members of the Church, but are open to those of all faiths.
Institute students study topics such as scriptures, Church history, doctrine and preparation for marriage and missions.
Classes are taught by full-time instructors, as well as volunteers appointed by local leadership.
Along with religious education, institutes provide an enjoyable social and recreational atmosphere in which students can interact.
