About Us

Missionary training centers (MTCs) help missionaries understand, live, and apply the missionary purpose as stated on page one of Preach My Gospel: A Guide to Missionary Service. Missionaries learn and teach the doctrine of Christ from the Book of Mormon. They learn how to be more effective teachers by studying and practicing the principles in Preach My Gospel. They also learn how to adjust to missionary life and how to live missionary standards. Missionaries who are assigned to learn a mission language will also begin learning this language in the MTC.
