1 Million Students in LDS Seminary and Institute — A First in Church History

1 million enrolled students worldwide. 75,000 are not LDS. 200,000 new students in past 2 years.

In March 2026, LDS Seminaries and Institutes of Religion crossed 1 million enrolled students for the first time in church history. Seminary meets daily for high school students; Institute serves young adults.

Approximately 75,000 participants are not LDS members — they chose to attend. Nearly 200,000 new students joined in the past two years. No other Christian denomination operates a daily scripture education program at this scale. (Church-reported figures.)
