The “Why I Believe” fireside this month is to be held on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 6:00 PM in the Washington DC Temple Visitors Center. We will feature testimonies of Jesus Christ from President Bonnie H. Cordon.
Why I Believe is a program that explores conversions and explains why members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hold to specific principles of the gospel. This fireside will feature conversion stories shared by Bonnie H. Cordon, President of Southern Virginia University, as she reflects on how the gospel of Jesus Christ has shaped and influenced her life. In addition, key doctrines and foundational gospel principles are thoughtfully explored.
The evening will also include music provided by the SVU Chamber Singers, conducted by Benjamin Gaughran. Bring your friends and family to enjoy this uplifting devotional together.
