ELDERS QUORUM
Message from the Sunday School Presidency
Work and Purpose of Elders Quorum
The Church has an organization for men called the Elders Quorum. The name comes from the Bible, where men who served in the priesthood were often referred to as elders. A quorum is another word for a group of people united by a shared purpose. In the case of the elders quorum, that purpose is to come together and help each other serve as better sons, brothers, husbands, fathers, and members of the community. Members also work together to fulfill congregational assignments, build unity, and learn about Jesus.
