Curriculum and Classes

2027 Come, Follow Me
The manual "Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church: New Testament" will be the main study resource for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2027.© 2026 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. All rights reserved.

“Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church: New Testament”

The 2027 curriculum resource for youth and adult Sunday School and Primary is “Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church: New Testament.” This resource also supports gospel learning and scripture study for individuals and families at home. “Come, Follow Me” is available in print and digitally in many languages on ChurchofJesusChrist.org and in the Gospel Library app.

New in 2027 are fast-Sunday lessons for Primary, which can be found at the end of the “Come, Follow Me” resource. These lessons focus on helping children become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. On fast Sunday, regardless of when it occurs during the month, Primary teachers are encouraged to teach from one of these lessons instead of the scheduled “Come, Follow Me” lesson.

Some print copies of “Come, Follow Me” will be shipped to wards and branches at no cost to the unit. Leaders should provide a copy to those who prefer a print manual. If needed, leaders and members can order additional copies starting November 15, 2026, at store.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

“New Testament Stories”

To help families and children as they study the New Testament, copies of “New Testament Stories ” will be shipped to wards and branches at no cost to the unit. Ward councils determine who receives these books and ensure that all copies are distributed. If needed, leaders and members can order additional copies starting November 15, 2026, at store.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

Additional resources for children include:

“For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices”
