Required Student Reading
We encourage all seminary students to have a personal scripture reading goal as we study each course.
Students will also read the selected scripture passages each term. The required reading includes pages from the book of scripture for each course. These pages have been carefully selected because of their doctrinal depth and richness.

Welcome to Online Seminary for the Katy Texas Stake! The Online teachers for this year will be Sister Mecham from the Nottingham Ward and Sister Ramsey from the Jordan Ranch Ward. This video walks you through what you need to know for Online Seminary this semester. Please view the video and let us know if you have any questions or if there’s anything we can do to help.
A FEW KEY POINTS:
Online Seminary starts Wednesday August 13th. We will meet in the Relief Society room at the Katy Stake Center room 8:15-9:15 PM.
Seminary will be in the same time and place every Wednesday while school is in session.
The online portion can be accessed by going to silearn.churchofjesuschrist.org. Sign in with your church username and password. Just complete the lessons for the weeks we are in Seminary. If you come to the in-person class, you will only need to complete 4 online lessons a week.
There will also be some required readings. This video (not made by me) will walk you through how to record those (you may also tell us and we can record them).
Please Reach out to Sister Mecham and Sister Ramsey if you have any questions.
