Experience the Greater Love of Jesus Christ this Easter
This Easter, we invite you to discover the greater love of Jesus Christ—a love that led Him to serve, sacrifice, and rise again. His resurrection gives us hope, healing, and the promise of eternal life. Join us in celebrating His love through study, service, and sharing His message.

At FAIR, we remain committed to strengthening faith, answering critical questions, and providing resources that support and uplift Latter-day Saints everywhere.
We have several exciting updates to share, including news from the Church, details about our upcoming FAIR Conference, and new resources to assist in your gospel study. Thank you for your continued support—we couldn’t do this work without you!

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints look forward to the General Conferences of the church as a time to hear the word of God and listen to His servants as they share messages they have been guided to share.
