Unveiling the 2025 Youth Theme

The 2025 youth theme, "Look unto Christ," was announced on September 17th, inviting youth to turn their hearts and minds to the Savior in every thought, without doubt or fear. This theme is rooted in the scriptural passage from Doctrine and Covenants 6:36, which reads, "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."

Equipping Youth with Inspiring Resources

To support the 2025 youth theme, the Church has made available a variety of resources, including a logo, artwork, posters, banners, stickers, and a music album titled "Look Unto Christ." The album features seven new songs and is accessible through various platforms, such as Spotify, the Church's Children and Youth 2025 website, Gospel Library, Strive to Be YouTube channel, the Sacred Music app, and the Gospel Living app. As the music becomes available in different languages, it will be shared with the global youth community.

Celebrating the Light of Christ

The release of the 2025 youth theme resources coincides with the worldwide broadcast for youth on October 27th, which celebrated the light of Jesus Christ. This event served as a platform to introduce the theme and its accompanying materials to the youth and their leaders.

Empowering Youth through Consistent Themes

The Church's website explains that each year, a youth theme is chosen to encourage, inspire, and unite youth around the world in their efforts to follow Jesus Christ. These themes are typically based on a scriptural passage and serve as a guiding motto or phrase. The Church has a history of creating songs, artwork, and other resources to help youth and their leaders incorporate the theme into their activities, church meetings, and personal lives.

The impact of the youth theme music albums from recent years has been remarkable. These songs have been streamed hundreds of millions of times in dozens of languages and in more than 200 countries, according to a news release from the Church. This widespread reach demonstrates the power of music to inspire and connect youth across the globe.

The theme can be used as a topic for sacrament meeting talks given by youth and can provide focus for various youth activities, including camps, youth conferences, and devotionals. The theme will also be emphasized during For the Strength of Youth conferences and worldwide youth devotionals, ensuring its consistent integration into the lives of the youth.
