The Peoria Institute of Religion of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints serves the spiritual, social, and recreational needs of students and young single adults ages 18-30 in Central Illinois. We invite you to contact us and become acquainted with our faculty and courses offered.

"Grasp the opportunity of the moment wherever you may be. Love the school of your choice. Make it your dear mother, your alma mater. Take from it the very best it has to offer. And hold on to the institute program. Gather with your peers. . . . Listen to good and able teachers. Participate in the social programs. Studies have shown that you are as likely to marry in the temple if you do this as if you were at one of the Church-owned schools. I pray that you will be blessed of the Lord, that you will receive a good education, that you will find wonderful companionship, and that you will look upon these days as among the most fruitful of your entire lives."
Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley, CES Fireside, Sept. 2001
