Come Follow Me 2025: Doctrine and Covenants Manual Guide

Anyone who has opened the Gospel Library app in December anticipating the next year’s study guide has already noticed the shift. The 2025 Come, Follow Me manual covers the Doctrine and Covenants, marking the first year of a new 4-year scripture cycle, and the Church has made it free in over 50 languages, with lessons starting December 30, 2024, built for both home and classroom use.

2025 Manual Topic: Doctrine and Covenants · Available Languages: 50+ · Weekly Lessons: 52 weeks · Cost: Free (online and print) · Release Date: December 2024

Six facts that define the 2025 curriculum cycle, one pattern: the shift is toward home-centered, digitally accessible learning with fewer automatic print shipments.

Quotes

“The 2025 curriculum begins on Monday, December 30, 2024. The manual supports gospel learning and scripture study for individuals and families at home and also serves as the curriculum for Primary, Sunday School, Young Women classes, and Aaronic Priesthood quorum meetings.”

— Church Newsroom

“The Church encourages members to access the 2025 Come, Follow Me resources digitally where possible. Leaders and members may order additional copies of the manual from the Church store.”

— The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

“The manual is titled ‘Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church: Doctrine and Covenants 2025’.”

— The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The 2025 manual is a consolidated version of Come, Follow Me for the Doctrine and Covenants year, and the Church has made it clear that digital access is the primary channel going forward.

For families and individuals who have relied on automatic print shipments, the change is significant. The Church will no longer automatically send printed lesson manuals to units free of charge. Congregation leaders can order print materials for members who want them, and members can also order copies for themselves.

For those who used the Come Follow Me 2024 guide last year, the 2025 manual builds on the same structure with updated lessons.
