LightSail Unit Studies on the History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Will you be studying the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in your homeschool this year? Knowing where we come from, learning about the sacrifices of those who came before, and gaining strength from their experiences and testimonies are all excellent reasons why you should. What better way for kids and teens to gain an appreciation for what they now have than to learn how it all came to be?  

LightSail has a number of Unit Studies to enrich your study of Latter-day Saint history in your homeschool.

1. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint Church History

2. Joseph Smith, the Prophet

3. Modern Day Prophets

5. Family History

We have been asked to help gather Israel in these latter-days and family history plays a big part in that.  With this Latter-day Saint unit study on family history, kids will gain a deeper appreciation for why learning about ancestors is important to spreading the gospel. Include a writing assignment about an ancestor of their own or work on indexing names and genealogy.

6. Latter-day Saint Temples

Learn more about the purpose of Latter-day Saint temples in the latter-days with this unit study.  Children can research the dedicatory prayer of their favorite temple to include as they study about ancient and modern temples.
