Mormon Church Structure

Classes for Mormon Children and Youth

To start off, it’s important to note Sunday services for members of the Mormon Church are broken down into segments. They have Sacrament Meetings, Sunday school, and then Relief Society or Priesthood meetings. The youth go to their prospective classes as well. Young Men classes, or Young Women classes, and for the children there are Primary meetings. After the Sacrament service is finished the congregation breaks up with everyone going to their applicable classes.
