While the world struggles with a pandemic, economic hardship, social issues, political turmoil and uncertainty, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will focus on the Savior’s messages of love, understanding, acceptance, hope, connection, and inclusion during the 190th Semiannual General Conference on October 3-4.
Despite not having a live audience at the Conference Center, the Church is using technology to offer more viewing and listening options than ever before, ensuring the largest global general conference audience to date.
General sessions for all audiences will be Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. mountain daylight time. A women’s session for all women and young women ages 11 and older will be Saturday evening at 6 p.m.
