(for girls sixteen and seventeen years of age)

Mission Statement:

A Laurel becomes a Young Woman of Faith as she more fully
experiences the Savior's love and prepares to receive the
ordinances of the temple by living, teaching, and sharing the gospel.

The temple spires remind us of sacred ordinances and covenants that lead to exaltation.

"And this shall be covenant--that we will walk in all the ordinances of the Lord."--D&C 136:4

"We beleive that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel."--Third Article of Faith

"And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works."--Alma 7:24

Laurel is another term used to indicate the good things people do.
