Stake Focus Areas


The mission of the church has been simplified: "prepare all God's children for eternal exaltation." Our stake will be focusing efforts in the following areas to prepare all God's children for eternal exaltation:

  1. Retention & Reactivation - These are our most important areas of focus as directed by President Hinckley!
  2. Missionary Work - Full and part-time missionaries perform an essential service in this work, but the influence of all members in sharing the gospel of Christ with those around us is the most effective and important part of this effort.
  3. Temple & Family History - The blessings of the temple are vital to our spirituality and eternal progress, and are equally important for our ancestors who have died.
  4. Personal and Emergency Preparation - Much of what we can do to serve others depends on our preparations in several areas: our education, health, employment, emergency preparedness, resource management, and social, emotional, and spiritual strength.
  5. Humanitarian Service - Service to others is an important part of the work of the Church on every level, but the local level is the most practical.
