Throughout 2025, Latter-day Saint youth ages 11 to 18 years will be encouraged to “look unto Christ.”

The Young Women and Young Men General Presidencies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who oversee the Church’s programs for youth, announced Tuesday, September 17, that the 2025 youth theme is “Look unto Christ” from the scripture Doctrine and Covenants 6:36, which reads, “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.”

Parents and youth leaders are encouraged to teach principles from the theme at home and at church throughout the year. The theme can be used as a topic for Sunday meeting talks given by youth and can provide focus for youth activities, including camps, youth conferences and devotionals. The theme will be emphasized during For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences and worldwide youth devotionals.

Resources for teaching the 2025 theme, including a logo, music theme album, video and downloadable artwork will be available Sunday, October 27, on Youth.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Additional resources will be available in the January issue of the “For the Strength of Youth” magazine.

Young Women General President Emily Belle Freeman said the theme scripture for this year is meant to empower the youth — particularly in times of doubt or fear.

“What is the answer for moments like these? Look unto Christ,” President Freeman said. “Why is that the answer? ‘Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the nails in my hands and feet,’ He reminds us (Doctrine and Covenants 6:36-37). He has overcome the world, including every doubt and fear. If we look to Him, He will help us overcome ours.”
