Mission for a Day 2026

February 6th and 7th

YUCAIPA STAKE MISSIONARY EXPERIENCE 2026 INFO SHEET

We are excited to host another year of Mission for a Day. We hope youth in our stake take advantage of this opportunity to serve with the full-time missionaries and share the gospel. All youth turning 16 in 2026 and older are invited to attend. This means all priests and priest-age young women. For example, if a youth in your ward is 15 but turns 16 in November 2026, he/she is welcome and encouraged to attend.

Registration

Please fill out the online registration form here and let us know if you plan to attend Mission for a Day. It is crucial to get a headcount to ensure we have enough help from the California San Bernardino Mission. We ask that you submit the online form by Sunday, January 25, 2025.

Mini MTC

During the month of January, we will hold two “Mini-MTC” classes to help prepare for the Mission for a Day experience. Youth planning to attend Mission for a Day are encouraged to attend all meetings. Brother Miskin and the full-time missionaries will teach about testimony and conversion, explain how to teach the Restoration, and how to do simple door approaches. They will utilize Preach My Gospel when teaching.

Transportation on Saturday, February 7th

We would like as many as possible to attend for as much of the day as possible. Each young man or young woman will need to arrange their own transportation to and from the areas they will be assigned. We are doing what we can to pair drivers with non-drivers to help in this effort. If there are transportation issues, please let us know. If some must miss part of the day, they can still participate; however, they need to arrange their own transportation to and from their assigned areas. Youth can be assigned anywhere from Banning to Fontana, although we try to keep the majority closer to home.
