Welcome to the Institute of Religion.

Students standing together.
Education is not limited to the classroom or a campus. Every day, everywhere you go, you learn from people, experiences, books, advertisements and more. By developing a habit of learning both by study and faith—from searching textbooks to searching the scriptures—you will be prepared to understand what information is good, true and helpful as you continue to learn and grow. Institute provides a quiet place to strengthen yourself both personally and spiritually.

Another way to make new friends and share your testimony of the Savior is through music. The Ensign College Institute Choir is open to any student at Ensign College who wants to share meaningful experiences.

“Friends will be made, the Spirit will be felt, and faith will be strengthened.”
President Thomas S. Monson
