Mission & Purpose

In the Bible, Jesus taught that the two great commandments are to love God and to love our neighbors (Matthew 22:37–39).

We provide this online resource to point our community to free courses because of our love of Christ and our desire to improve our community.

Those who teach the classes are groups of volunteers in the Greater Spokane area committed to serving God and serving our neighbors. We donate our time and talents to serve and build up the communities where we live. Many of us are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – though not all. People of all faiths and backgrounds and many community and civic organizations help us in this effort.

The Church provides you free access to their building, training courses and resources. Everyone is welcome to participate in our classes, regardless of background, race, gender, sexual orientation or political affiliation. Yes – all are welcome here.

You are welcome to come, learn, grow and enjoy a better life with us.

Our Beliefs & Values

We believe that everyone is a child of God. His greatest desire is to see you grow and have joy. The scriptures state that, “Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” (Luke 2:52 KJV). We believe that you have a right to do the same. We are here to help.

God Loves You

As a unique child of God, you are loved immensely by your Heavenly Father. He is the Father of your spirit. All of humanity belongs to His family. As a loving parent, He knows you, is aware of your challenges, and wants you to have a strong relationship with Him.

Jesus Is Our Savior

We all need help in life. We face trials, we have questions, and we make mistakes. This is why we need Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God and our loving Savior. His perfect example shows us the way to live. His teachings give us direction.

Life Has Purpose

You were born for a reason. Life can be difficult sometimes, but we are here to find happiness and help others do the same.

The Scriptures Guide Us

God’s plan centers around Jesus Christ. One of the most important ways we can learn about Jesus Christ is to study the scriptures that testify of Him. Scriptures are made up of the writings of holy prophets.

Becoming Christlike

Reading and understanding the teachings of Jesus Christ is important, but they can only bring us lasting happiness if we put them into action and behave as true Christians. We all have the capacity to be more Christlike in our thoughts and actions.

“One of the primary purposes of mortality is to learn—to gain knowledge and intelligence….“The glory of God is intelligence.” You might think intelligence means being gifted in academic work, but intelligence also means applying the knowledge we obtain for righteous purposes.“

– David A. Bednar
