Rich Robins
Rich Robins loves Church History – and especially loves teaching about the miraculous events of the glorious Restoration in the holy places and at the sacred sites in which they occurred! His love for the Prophet Joseph Smith and Church History was first kindled while serving as a young missionary at the Hill Cumorah Pageant over 50 years ago! His forty-year teaching career, thirty of which was in the Seminary and Institute programs of the Church, have only sweetened and deepened that love for the Savior’s Orchestration of the glorious and grand latter-day Restoration.
Immediately following his retirement Rich, and his wife Robyn, served as full-time missionaries in the New York/Pennsylvania Historical Sites Mission. Rich has also directed Church History tours for LDS youth groups, for LDS Seminary/Institute Faculty Summer Workshops, and during the past five years for Morris Murdock Escorted Travel.
Rich was born and raised in Orem, Utah. After serving in the Ontario/Quebec Canada Mission, he completed a bachelor’s and master’s degree in educational Curriculum and Instruction at BYU, followed by a 40-year teaching career. He has also served as a CES Area Director in Utah Valley, as the LDS Institute Director at the Orem Institute (adjacent to Utah Valley University), and as a Seminary Preservice Instructor at BYU.
