What happens at the Provo MTC?
Each Wednesday several hundred missionaries enter the Provo MTC. The MTC curriculum consists of up to 12 weeks of studying doctrine, learning to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ effectively, and developing excellent communication skills. When missionaries are called to serve in foreign lands, their training also includes learning a new language. The Provo MTC is a beautiful campus designed to accommodate up to 4,000 missionaries. The facility includes a large gymnasium, cafeterias, a medical clinic, a bookstore, a mail center, laundry facilities, classrooms, and residence halls. A day at the MTC can involve many different activities, including visiting the cafeteria, enjoying some exercise in the gym, and engaging in personal study. Missionaries spend much of their time in classroom activities. |

Expansion in 2016 - 2017
The Provo MTC is expanding to accommodate thousands of additional missionaries resulting from the lowering of the eligibility age. The plans include enhanced outdoor space for missionary use, 300 underground parking stalls, and improved landscaping.The new buildings will each stand six stories high and will be well within the height and placement requirements of Provo City’s zoning guidelines. Construction began summer 2015 with construction completed in 2017.,As part of a subsequent construction phase, classroom buildings near the MTC entrance will be torn down. In their place, a new landscaped drive will be installed where missionaries will be greeted when they arrive. The new construction does not include living quarters, but existing rooms in the residence halls are being remodeled to increase capacity. Courtesy of LDS Church |
