Introduction
Heavenly Father gave Jesus Christ a sacred mission to fulfill (see Luke 4:18–xix; John 6:38; three Nephi 27:14–16). During His ministry building, the Savior trusted His disciples with of import responsibilities (come across Luke 10:i–9). Too, the Lord calls men and women to serve in the Church building today through inspired invitations from His servants. These opportunities to serve are known as callings.
Callings requite members opportunities to feel the joy of serving God by serving His children (run into Mosiah 2:17). Callings likewise assistance members increase their organized religion and draw closer to the Lord.
It is not appropriate to aspire to specific callings in the Church (see Mark 10:42–45; Doctrine and Covenants 121:34–37). Nor practice Church members "advance" from one calling to some other. Subsequently serving in one calling, they should not expect to receive a calling of greater responsibility or prominence. Serving faithfully in a calling is more important than what the calling is. The Lord honors the dedication of all who serve in His Church.
This affiliate describes how members are chosen to serve in the Church and how they are released from their callings. It also includes a Chart of Callings that gives information about issuing specific callings, sustaining members in their callings, and setting them autonomously (see xxx.8).
30.1
Determining Whom to Telephone call
30.1.1
Full general Guidelines
Those who serve in the Church are called of God (run across Hebrews v:iv; Articles of Faith 1:v). Leaders seek the guidance of the Spirit in determining whom to telephone call (see also 4.ii.half dozen). They also consider:
-
The member's worthiness (as determined in an interview).
-
Gifts and abilities the member has, or could develop, to bless others.
-
The member'southward personal circumstances, including his or her health and work.
-
The impact the calling may have on the member'due south union and family unit.
Each calling should bless the people who are served, the member who serves, and the member's family. Callings also give members opportunities to grow.
Members are blest for sacrifices they make to serve in the Church. All the same, a calling should non place undue burdens on individuals and families. Nor should callings make it hard for members to fulfill their employment responsibilities.
More often than not, each member is chosen to serve in only 1 calling at a time, in addition to existence a ministering brother or sister. Exceptions should be rare and prayerfully considered. Non every potential position needs to exist filled.
When extending a calling to a married fellow member, leaders ensure that the spouse is aware and supportive of the calling. Before extending a calling to a fellow or immature woman, leaders obtain approval from his or her parents or guardians.
Before a calling is extended, the bishop carefully reviews the person's membership record to verify that information technology does non include an notation or formal membership restrictions. If the calling needs to be extended earlier the membership tape is in the ward, the bishop contacts the member'southward previous bishop.
Before a stake leader extends a calling, the person'southward bishop is consulted to discuss the member'south worthiness and other circumstances that could influence his or her service (such every bit those described above).
30.ane.ii
Callings for New Members
Opportunities to serve help members grow spiritually. Serving together can likewise assist members build close relationships. This is especially important for new members.
Ward leaders requite new members opportunities to serve soon afterwards they are baptized and confirmed. New members have a variety of abilities. Leaders prayerfully invite them to serve in means that will aid them grow personally and bless others. Some members are fix for callings correct away. Others might prefer temporary assignments that aid them gear up to receive callings. See as well 23.2 and 23.5.1.
30.1.3
Callings for Those Who Are Not Members
People who are not members of the Church may be called to some positions, such equally organist, music director, or a calling to help programme activities. All the same, they should not exist called as teachers, every bit quorum or organization presidency members, or as Primary music leaders.
A person whose membership has been formally restricted or has been withdrawn may not accept a calling (see 32.11.iii and 32.11.4).
30.1.four
Confidentiality
Callings and releases are sacred. Because of this, leaders continue information about proposed callings and releases confidential. Leaders share such information at a time and in a setting that is consequent with its sacred nature.
For example, a person who is being considered for a calling is not notified until the calling is issued. This helps avert embarrassment if the call is non extended.
Additionally, simply those who need to know, such equally a spouse and an organisation presidency that has responsibility for the position, are informed earlier the person is presented for sustaining.
30.1.v
Recommendations and Approvals for Callings
The Chart of Callings indicates who may make recommendations for each calling and who gives approval (see 30.8). In some cases, quorum and organization leaders make recommendations to the pale presidency or bishopric. They exercise and so prayerfully, seeking inspiration almost whom to recommend. They may also counsel with the bishopric or stake presidency.
Bishops and stake presidents carefully consider each recommendation, recognizing that it has been prayerfully made. The bishopric or stake presidency has terminal responsibility to receive inspiration almost whom to call. When needed, they may request another recommendation.
If a bishop or stake president feels inspired to call someone other than the person who was recommended, that does not mean the recommendation was non inspired. It may be that the bishop or stake president had information that was not available to those who made the recommendation.
30.2
Extending a Calling
Receiving a telephone call to serve should exist a meaningful spiritual experience for a member. Callings to serve the Lord are sacred and blithesome opportunities. Leaders communicate this by the way they extend a calling. They should not extend callings in a coincidental mode.
The Chart of Callings indicates who may extend each calling (encounter 30.viii). Subsequently receiving the necessary approvals, the authorized leader counsels with the member to understand if the member'southward circumstances permit him or her to serve. The leader as well seeks to sympathize if the member is worthy and willing to serve.
When a leader extends a calling, he explains that it has come from the Lord. If needed, he may requite the member time to prayerfully consider the calling, seeking his or her own spiritual confirmation.
The leader may also:
-
Explain the purpose, importance, and responsibilities of the calling.
-
Help the member focus primarily on the people he or she will serve. (Every bit applicable, the leader provides a list of these people from Leader and Clerk Resources.)
-
Encourage the member to seek the Spirit of the Lord in fulfilling the calling.
-
Testify that the Lord will help the member and volition bless him or her for serving faithfully.
-
Tell the fellow member who will provide preparation and support for the calling.
-
Tell the member who to report to on his or her efforts.
-
Inform the member of whatever meetings he or she should attend and whatever resources that are available.
-
Assist the member know approximately how much time commitment the calling requires.
-
Discuss whatsoever special concerns or challenges of the calling.
-
Answer questions the member may have.
If the fellow member is married, the leader invites the spouse to be present when the calling is extended.
If the calling includes working with children or youth, the leader explains that the member will need to complete the children and youth protection training. This training is available at ProtectingChildren.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. The member should consummate information technology within one month of being sustained and every three years thereafter.
30.3
Sustaining Members in Callings
Those who are called to virtually Church building positions should be presented for sustaining before they begin serving (see Doctrine and Covenants 28:13; 42:eleven). By sustaining those called to serve, members pledge their support and willingness to help.
The Chart of Callings indicates whether sustaining is needed and who participates in it (see thirty.8). The leader who oversaw extending the calling, or a priesthood leader he authorizes, presents the person to be sustained.
The person who conducts the sustaining showtime announces who was released from the position (if applicative). He invites members to requite an expression of thanks for the person's service (come across thirty.vi).
When presenting a person for sustaining, an authorized priesthood leader invites him or her to stand. The leader may apply wording similar the following:
"[Name] has been called equally [position]. Those in favor of sustaining [him or her] may prove it past the uplifted paw. [Pause briefly.] Those opposed, if any, may also show information technology. [Interruption briefly.]"
The person who is being presented should participate in the sustaining. If more than 1 person is beingness presented, they may be sustained as a group.
If a fellow member in expert standing opposes the calling, the presiding leader or some other assigned priesthood leader meets with him or her in private after the meeting. The leader seeks to understand why the fellow member is opposed. He asks if the member knows of conduct that could disqualify the person from serving in the position. If the opposing fellow member does non know of such conduct, he or she is encouraged to sustain and support the person in the calling.
But members in skilful standing may participate in the sustaining. Even so, if a nonmember or a member who is not in good standing has concerns about the action, he or she may share them with the bishop or stake president in private afterwards the meeting.
30.4
Setting Apart Members to Serve in Callings
Those who are called to about Church positions should be set autonomously. The Chart of Callings indicates who may practice the setting apart (see xxx.8). This generally happens later on members are sustained and before they begin serving.
To set autonomously a member to a calling means to give him or her the authority to deed in that calling (see iii.iv.3.1). A setting autonomously also includes a approval and promises guided by the Spirit. For more information, see 18.11.
thirty.v
Length of Service
Every bit much as possible, leaders allow members to serve in their callings long enough to establish strong relationships with those they serve. Members may also need time to learn and grow in their responsibilities. This can be peculiarly important for leaders of youth and children likewise equally presidents of the Relief Club and elders quorum. The ideal length of service for leaders varies, but two to five years are ofttimes sufficient.
30.6
Releasing Members from Callings
In about cases, members are released from callings when the Lord inspires their leaders to release them. Some members, similar pale and mission presidents, are usually released after an established menstruation of fourth dimension. A person could also be released for other reasons, such as personal and family circumstances.
When a president or bishop is released, his or her counselors are released automatically. Others in the organization, such as clerks, secretaries, and teachers, are not released automatically.
Releases from Church callings are made by someone with the same level of authority as the person who extended the callings. For case, if a bishopric fellow member extended the calling, a bishopric member extends the release.
Extending a release is an important opportunity for a leader to express gratitude and to acknowledge God's hand in the member's service. The leader meets with the fellow member personally to inform him or her of the release before it is appear publicly. He may choose to invite the member to share what he or she has learned by serving in the calling. Only those who need to know are informed of a release before it is announced.
An authorized priesthood leader announces the release in the aforementioned setting where the person was sustained. The leader may utilize words similar the following:
"[Name] has been released every bit [position]. Those who would like to limited thank you for [his or her] service may show it past the uplifted hand."
The leader does not ask if anyone opposes.
30.7
Calling, Ordaining, and Setting Apart Bishops
The pale presidency recommends brethren to exist chosen or released as bishops. Recommendations are submitted to the Outset Presidency through Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR). A member of the stake presidency, a clerk, or the executive secretarial assistant may prepare the recommendation. However, only the stake president may submit information technology.
A bishop's responsibilities are pregnant (run across 7.ane). They crave a man of integrity, moral cleanliness, spiritual maturity, and faithfulness to the Savior. The stake presidency seeks confirmation from the Spirit about whom to recommend. When recommending a man to serve every bit bishop, they carefully consider 1 Timothy 3:2–seven. They exercise non enquire for suggestions from ward members. Boosted data virtually the qualifications of a bishop is given in LCR.
Before the pale president can call a new bishop, he must receive written blessing of his recommendation from the Get-go Presidency. With this approval, the stake president may ordain and ready apart a bishop afterwards ward members have sustained him in a sacrament meeting. Approval of the Commencement Presidency is also required before a stake president may release a bishop. The stake president may not delegate these responsibilities.
If a man called as bishop is not a high priest, the stake president ensures that he is ordained a high priest before ordaining him a bishop. If the man was ordained a bishop previously, he needs merely to exist set autonomously as bishop of the ward. If men chosen as the bishop's counselors are non high priests, they are ordained high priests before being set apart.
Subsequently the First Presidency has approved the recommendation of a man to serve as bishop, they authorize the stake president to ordain him and set him autonomously. The stake president:
-
Calls the man past his full name.
-
States that he is acting by the say-so of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
-
Ordains the homo a bishop (unless he was previously ordained).
-
Sets him apart to preside over the ward and to be the president of the Aaronic Priesthood and the priests quorum, emphasizing his responsibilities for Aaronic Priesthood holders and young women in the ward (see 7.1.2).
-
Confers on him all the keys, rights, powers, and authority of the office of bishop, referring specifically to the bishop's duties as a common estimate in State of israel and as the presiding high priest in the ward (see vii.1.1 and 7.1.3).
-
Gives words of blessing as the Spirit directs.
-
Closes in the name of Jesus Christ.
An Area Lxx or General Authority may also telephone call, ordain, and fix apart a bishop with approval from the Commencement Presidency.
30.8
Chart of Callings
The post-obit nautical chart lists selected ward and stake callings. Other callings and service opportunities are described elsewhere in this handbook.
A ward or stake does not need to make full every calling listed in this chart. Leaders determine which callings to fill based on the needs of the unit of measurement and those available to serve.
Note: Sealers in a temple are called under the direction of the President of the Church building. For this reason, active sealers should non be called to serve in bishoprics or in branch, district, stake, or mission presidencies.
