The word gospel literally means “good news.” The gospel of Jesus Christ is good news because it provides the doctrine—the eternal truth—we need to come unto Him and be saved (see The Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 15:14). The gospel teaches us how to live good, meaningful lives. The good news of the gospel provides the way for us to be forgiven of sins, be sanctified, and return to God’s presence.

There was a Christmas party at the nursing home where I live, and four missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints came to sing for us. These missionaries had such joy! It was more than the Christmas Spirit. It was the Holy Spirit radiating from their bodies. I wanted to have this spiritual experience. I had longed for it for many years. After the party was over, the missionaries came over to say hello and I asked them about their church. We talked a little about it and they gave my local missionaries my contact information. The next day I met with the missionaries from my ward and was thrilled with everything they shared with me. I was baptized January 10, 2026, and love my church. The members are so welcoming and warm. The church is the most loving one I have ever known. If you're looking for a church home, check us out. We are friendly and have a great group of children and young people who are active in our services. Sacrament is given weekly, which really enhances my spiritual life.

my testimony
hi my name is robin, my experience for this church has been amazing i met so many new people. i definitely love learning more about our amazing heavenly father who created life for us. i started coming back to church because i was losing faith in my self. becoming a parent for the firs time i thought i was doing everything wrong. but i keep learning more and more everyday about my daughters life and enjoy letting her explore what heavenly father built for us. everyday is an adventure learning more about life and nature. most of all, i gained my faith and strength back because i needed it back from dealing with the postpartum depression. i have my good and bad days. but i always know heavenly father is looking down saying your doing an amazing job with my beautiful girl.
💔❤️When life feels like it's falling apart, there's a love that holds you together 💔❤️

🤲What can the Atonement of Jesus Christ do for me?🤲

❤️🩹To understand the hope we can receive through Christ, we need to understand the law of justice. This is the unchanging law that brings consequences for our actions. Obedience to God brings positive consequences, and disobedience brings negative ones. (See The Book of Mormon, Alma 42:14–18.) When we sin, we become spiritually unclean, and no unclean thing can live in God’s presence (see The Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 27:19).❤️🩹
-
☺️During Jesus Christ’s atoning sacrifice, He stood in our place, suffered, and paid the penalty for our sins. God’s plan gives Jesus Christ power to make intercession on our behalf—to stand between us and justice (see The Book of Mormon, Mosiah 15:9). Because of Jesus’s atoning sacrifice, He can claim His rights of mercy on our behalf as we exercise faith unto repentance. “Thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles [us] in the arms of safety” (see The Book of Mormon, Alma 34:16).😊

HE WILL:
Heal your heartbreak
Lift your burdens
Forgive your mistakes
Give you hope when you're lost &
Bring you peace in the storms you face
The Savior's love is real. It’s for you. 💖"

🫵God has given us this experience on earth so we can learn, grow, and become more like Him. With perfect love, He wants us to return to Him after we die. However, we cannot do this on our own. Because God loves us, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, … that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16–17).
-
🫵God wants to bless us with peace and a fulness of joy that will last for eternity. He has provided a plan that gives us the opportunity to receive these blessings. This plan is called the plan of salvation.

Lyrics:
1. A walk in nature brings peace and beauty
oh how happy to be alive
Im grateful for My Savior's love for me.
Jubilation fills my soul.
[Chorus]
The Lord is mine.
He is my Savior
Oh what joy and peace this feeling brings.
The Lord is mine
He is my Savior
The Gospel's true forevermore.
2. When life is dimmed by this world's troubles
Clouds of fear consume my soul.
The Savior comes to me and says.
Rejoice my child I am here for you.
[chorus]
3. Over the mountains into the valley's
My heart rejoices that he is here.
My soul soars to be alive.
What great blessings are here for me.
[chorus]

My sister-in-law, Trish, has been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since her childhood, and since she returned to activity about a year ago, the missionaries began visiting our home frequently. I often chatted with them out of curiosity, though I had no initial intention of joining. However, during a particularly difficult day, the sister missionaries arrived like angels shining in the darkness. As we talked, one thing led to another, and I found myself agreeing to be baptized. Unfortunately these missionary sisters didn't stay in the ward much longer. I was then introduced to 3 new missionary sisters who'd continue to diligently guide me and teach me.
In the weeks that followed, the new missionaries shared the Book of Mormon lessons with me. The more I learned, the more I felt my heart align with what was being taught. By the time my baptism date arrived on February 28, 2026, I felt a profound sense of peace with my decision despite my nerves. As I came out of the water, I felt like a completely new person; it was as if every mistake I had ever made remained in the water, left behind forever.
On March 15, 2026, I reached another milestone when I received the Aaronic Priesthood. At my request, the oldest member of our ward bestowed it upon me. As they laid their hands upon my head, I saw a vision of angel wings enveloping me, and a feeling of peace and power filled me from head to toe. A warm, glowing presence has remained with me, and I can truly testify that the Holy Ghost is real.
My first time at the temple was March 15th, 2026. It was the most magnificent place I've ever been to in my life. I truly felt like I was in heaven on earth. The people were so nice and loving towards me. I was baptized five times on behalf of the dead. I performed baptisms for the first time in my life and have had nine more opportunities after that. It was such an amazing feeling knowing that I was helping other lost souls find their way to Jesus. [CONTINUED IN COMMENTS...]
What is the purpose of baptism?
-
-
Why do so many religions invite me to be baptized?
-
-
How can baptism help me?
-
-
Because God loves us! He wants us to get close to him so He can get close to us. Baptism is how we first enter a covenant relationship with God. Baptism has two parts: baptism by water and by the Spirit. When we are baptized and confirmed, we are cleansed of our sins, giving us a new start in life. We are baptized by immersion, following Jesus’s example. We partake of the sacrament each week in remembrance of Jesus’s sacrifice and to renew our covenants with God.
-
1. Take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ
2. Keep the commandments
3. Serve God and others
4. Endure to the end
-
In return God promises us that we may always have His spirit to be with us! After we are baptized, we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost through the ordinance of confirmation. When we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, we can have His companionship throughout our lives if we are faithful. The Holy Ghost sanctifies us, guides us, comforts us, and helps us know the truth.

Hello, my name is Brian Long from the Morrisville Ward in North Carolina. In 2023 I began to seek the truth, reading the Holy Bible from beginning to end, daily. While in Fayetteville, NC it replaced worldly music and gossip with things praising God. The more I chased God’s love, the more everything else felt irrelevant. Though I struggled letting go, God’s grace was a true testimony each time.
Two Sisters came to my home and told me about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Book of Mormon. I trusted the Bible, so this was trust-but-verify for me. But their patience was undeniable. Sunday service was centered on praise, worship, testimonies, and ways to be involved. Sisters and Elders helped me stay active — even playing basketball, keeping me from the wrong environment.
I had an opportunity to be baptized but it was delayed, and I learned patience. Later, in Yanceyville, NC, I became homeless. Family and members gave me food, shelter, and rides. I remember sleeping in the rain on a bench, yet at peace reading the word and listening to gospel music and President Nelson’s talks. It felt like becoming a soldier for Christ Jesus.
In Chapel Hill’s YSA ward I knew I was ready to be baptized. Since baptism I’ve seen others join and become fishers of men! Let’s complete the mission — extinguish division between members, and shine our light against worldly ways in every ward and Stake. To God Be the Glory and Jesus is Lord!!! Amen 🙏🏾 Agent for Christ Jesus, Brian Long standing firm.
