The Young Single Adults of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day-Saints

This thesis project utilizes four frames created by Bolman and Deal’s book, Reframing Organizations to take a look at the Young Single Adults of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The thesis begins by presenting the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the bigger picture of religion in the world and narrows down into the particular branch of the church centered on the Young Single Adults who are made up of unmarried 18-31 year olds. From there, opportunities for improvement within the Young Single Adult wards and stakes are mentioned. Then using the four frameworks from Bolman and Deal and outside research an analysis of the YSA is conducted, followed by potential solutions to the challenges and the opportunities for improvement within the Young Single Adults are discussed. The thesis is then concluded with any limitations and a final push for the implementation of these changes.
