About Us

MISSION STATEMENT:

The home is the basis of a righteous life, and no other instrumentality can take its place or fulfill its essential functions . . . (The First Presidency, Feb 11, 1999)

Home and family living fosters study of the home as a sacred center for family life and as the basis for a vital community. Theory, research, and practice are used to:

illuminate the value of everyday home life
foster wellness and provident living in meeting practical human needs such as feeding, housing, clothing, and financing the family
value the potential that practical human needs present for the moral and temporal development of family members
promote religious and community involvement that maintains and strengthens home and family as the fundamental unit of society
prepare individuals as professional and everyday home and family educators.
