Member Responsibilities

Church leaders invite all Church members, wherever they live, to support the mission of the Church by fulfilling basic responsibilities, including (1) sharing the gospel by bearing testimony as prompted by the Spirit; (2) helping individuals and families perfect themselves in their journeys toward immortality and eternal life by striving to keep the commandments, serve their fellowmen, and receive the ordinances and covenants of the gospel; and (3) helping individuals and families in their search for deceased ancestors and encouraging them to receive temple ordinances. All Church members support the mission of the Church by fulfilling these responsibilities. For more information on these responsibilities, see the Family Guidebook.
