My Calling as an Elders Quorum Secretary

Responsibilities

The Lord is grateful for your willingness to serve in His Church. Below is an overview of the responsibilities for your calling.

Purpose of Elders Quorum

The Melchizedek Priesthood helps God’s children prepare to return to His presence. Members of the elders quorum work together to help accomplish God’s work of salvation and exaltation. They serve others, fulfill priesthood duties, build unity, and learn and live doctrine (see General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 8.1).

Elders Quorum Secretary

The elders quorum presidency and secretary meet regularly. The secretary’s responsibilities could include preparing agendas, taking notes, keeping track of assignments, scheduling ministering interviews, preparing and submitting attendance reports, and helping prepare a budget (see 8.3.4).

Sunday Meetings

Elders quorums meet on the second and fourth Sundays of the month to increase faith, build unity, and strengthen families and homes. The elders quorum presidency prayerfully selects messages from the most recent general conference to discuss based on members’ needs (see 8.2.1.2).

Service and Activities

Elders quorum presidencies may plan activities to strengthen quorum members and give them opportunities to serve together (see 8.2.1.3).
