Ward Mission Plan
El Dorado Ward - 2023
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has 4 divinely appointed responsibilities described as the Work of Salvation and Exaltation. These responsibilities are: 1) Living the Gospel of Jesus Christ, 2) Caring for Those in Need, 3) Inviting All to Receive the Gospel, and 4) Uniting Families for Eternity. As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we feel it as our obligation to serve our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ, by demonstrating our faith by acting on the 4-fold mission of the Church. This will be accomplished by the following plan:
Living the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Increase our knowledge and testimonies of the Book of Mormon by studying the scriptures daily
Hold weekly family home evenings in our homes, incorporating the “Come Follow Me” lesson material
Renew our baptismal covenants through sacrament meeting attendance
“Love, Share and Invite” all to make the next covenant through ministering
Caring for Those in Need
Act on ministering assignments, becoming friends with assigned companions and ministering families
Contact ministers in our times of need
