The Restoration
Teach God Is Our Loving Heavenly Father
God is our Heavenly Father, and we are His children. He created us in His image.
God knows us personally and loves us.
God has a glorified, perfected body of flesh and bones.
God wants to bless us with peace and a fulness of joy that will last for eternity.
Because God loves us, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us from sin and death.
Teach Our Life on Earth
In God’s plan, we needed to come to earth to receive physical bodies, learn, and grow.
On earth, we learn to walk by faith. However, Heavenly Father has not left us alone. He has provided many gifts and guides to help us return to His presence.
Teach Faith in Jesus Christ
Faith is the first principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Faith in Jesus Christ includes having confidence that He is the Son of God and trusting in Him as our Savior and Redeemer.
Faith in Jesus Christ is a principle of action and power.
We strengthen our faith by praying, studying the scriptures, and obeying the commandments.

PMG Ch. 1
Teach Jesus Christ’s Earthly Ministry and Atonement
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
During His earthly ministry, Jesus taught His gospel and established His Church.
Jesus called twelve Apostles and gave them authority to lead His Church.
At the end of His life, Jesus atoned for our sins by His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and during the Crucifixion. After Jesus’s death, He was resurrected.
Because of Jesus’s atoning sacrifice, we can be forgiven and cleansed of our sins as we repent. This brings us peace and makes it possible for us to return to God’s presence and receive a fulness of joy.
Because of Jesus’s Resurrection, we will all be resurrected after we die. This means that each person’s spirit and body will be reunited and live forever.
Teach The Resurrection, Salvation, and Exaltation
After our time in the spirit world, the Resurrection is the next step in our eternal journey.
The Resurrection is the reuniting of our spirit and body. Each of us will be resurrected and have a perfected physical body. We will live forever. This is made possible by the Savior’s Atonement and Resurrection.
Teach Repentance
Faith in Jesus Christ leads us to repent. Repentance is the process of turning to God and turning away from sin. As we repent, our actions, desires, and thoughts change to be more in harmony with God’s will.
When we sincerely repent, God forgives us. Forgiveness is possible because Jesus Christ atoned for our sins.
As we repent, we feel peace as our guilt and sorrow are healed.
Repentance is a lifelong process. God welcomes us back every time we repent. He will never give up on us.

Teach The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ
The Book of Mormon is a volume of scripture written in ancient times by prophets in the Americas. Joseph Smith translated it by the gift and power of God.
With the Bible, the Book of Mormon provides a witness of Jesus’s ministry, teachings, and mission as our Savior.
We can get nearer to God by reading the Book of Mormon and abiding by its precepts.
We can know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God by reading it, pondering it, and praying about it. This process will also help us come to know that Joseph Smith was a prophet.
Teach The Fall of Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve were the first of God’s spirit children to come to earth. God created their bodies and placed them in the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve transgressed, were cast out of the garden, and were separated from God’s presence. This event is called the Fall.
After the Fall, Adam and Eve became mortal. As mortals, they were able to learn, progress, and have children. They also experienced sorrow, sin, and death.
The Fall was a step forward for humankind. The Fall made it possible for us to be born on earth and progress in Heavenly Father’s plan.
Teach Endure to the End
Enduring includes continuing to exercise faith in Christ each day. We continue to keep our covenants with God, repent, seek the companionship of the Holy Ghost, and partake of the sacrament.
As we faithfully seek to follow Jesus Christ, God promises that we will have eternal life.

Teach The Falling Away & The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Joseph Smith
After Jesus’s Apostles died, there was a widespread falling away from the gospel and Church of Jesus Christ.
During this time, people changed many gospel teachings. People also changed priesthood ordinances, such as baptism. Priesthood authority and the Church that Jesus had established were no longer on the earth.
Joseph Smith sought to know which church was God’s true Church so he could join it. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him in 1820. This event is called the First Vision.
God called Joseph Smith to be a prophet, just as He had called prophets in earlier times.
The gospel of Jesus Christ was restored through Joseph Smith.
Other heavenly messengers restored the priesthood, and Joseph was authorized to organize the Church of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ continues to lead His Church today through living prophets and apostles.
Teach Judgment and Kingdoms of Glory
When we are resurrected, Jesus Christ will be our judge. With very few exceptions, all of God’s children will receive a place in a kingdom of glory.
Although we will all be resurrected, we will not all receive the same eternal glory. Jesus will judge us according to our faith, works, and repentance in mortality and in the spirit world. We can return to live in God’s presence if we are faithful.
Teach The Gospel of Jesus Christ Blesses All of God’s Children
Living the gospel deepens our joys, inspires our actions, and enriches our relationships.
We are most likely to be happy—both as individuals and as families—when we live by the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Through the gospel of Jesus Christ, families are blessed in this life and can be united for eternity and live in the presence of God.

Teach Baptism: Our First Covenant with God & The Gift of the Holy Ghost
Baptism is how we first enter a covenant relationship with God.
Baptism has two parts: baptism by water and by the Spirit. When we are baptized and confirmed, we are cleansed of our sins, giving us a new start in life.
We are baptized by immersion, following Jesus’s example.
Children are not baptized until they are eight years old. Children who die before that age are redeemed through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
We partake of the sacrament each week in remembrance of Jesus’s sacrifice and to renew our covenants with God.
The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead.
After we are baptized, we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost through the ordinance of confirmation.
When we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, we can have His companionship throughout our lives if we are faithful.
The Holy Ghost sanctifies us, guides us, comforts us, and helps us know the truth.
