The Church has announced that the youth theme for 2026 is “Walk with Me” (see Moses 6:34).
Corresponding resources (including the theme song, additional music, sheet music, and downloadable artwork) will begin publishing at youth.ChurchofJesusChrist.org in some languages on October 28, 2025. Additional languages will become available after October 28.
Additional resources will be available in the January 2026 issue of the For the Strength of Youth magazine.
Parents and youth leaders are encouraged to teach principles from the theme at home and at church throughout the year. In addition, youth can use the theme as a topic for sacrament meeting talks. The theme can also provide a focus for youth activities, including camps, youth conferences, and devotionals. The theme will be emphasized during For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences worldwide.
Each year’s youth theme comes from the book of scripture studied with that year’s Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church curriculum. In 2026, it will focus on study of the Old Testament.
