Levels of Interest in the Church or Gospel |
- Know nothing
- Awareness: “Mormons exist."
- Awakening: "Why am I hearing so much about Mormons lately?”
- Curiosity: "I wonder what Mormons believe about…”
- Interest: “This could be serious, I will listen.”
- Investigation: “I have to know if this is true. I will study and pray.”
- Conversion: “I will help build the Kingdom”
Adapted from the book, How Americans View Mormonism, Gary C. Lawrence, (2008), 96
We hope everyone can have an accurate understanding about the reestablished Church of Jesus Christ and the truths of His Gospel. However, we should feel happy when we help anyone move to up to a higher level of interest. It may take years for a person to move from level 1 to level 7, but sometimes it can happen in two to three months. And there may be some people who will never move above level 2. At times some might be angry and reject what we say. However, Heavenly Father’s love, even for those who reject what we say, does not stop.
