Policies and Announcements

In a May 1991 letter sent to all General Authorities and area, regional, and local leaders, the First Presidency issued the following guideline relating to Church service missionaries:

“Church service missionaries serving at home, whether full- or part-time, can be called for six-, twelve-, or eighteen-month assignments. Full-time Church service missionaries serving away from home can be called for twelve or eighteen months. The length of recommended service for those serving at home should be noted by the bishop on the Recommendation for Church Service or on the Missionary Recommendation Form for those serving away from home.”
