Types of Service Missions–#write31days

October 27, 2016 by Brenda Leave a Comment

service-missions

First let me say that I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. That is the actual and proper name for our church.  Our church is often referred to as the LDS Church, or the Mormon Church.  This series of posts was at the request of some of my friends on Facebook.  You can read more about that here–on my Landing Page or introduction for the Write 31 Days Challenge.

From the LDS Church Service Mission Website:

Church-service missionaries are given the opportunity to choose a schedule that fits with their needs, typically serving at least eight hours per week for a period of 6 to 24 months. Tens of thousands of Church-service missionaries are needed every year to answer the call and devote the time they have to serving. Specific calls may vary, but all Church-service missions work to provide relief, comfort, and support to people around the world.

There are lots of Church Service Mission opportunities available. Possible Church-service missions include:

Helping Members Live the Gospel of Jesus Christ

  • Distribution Center retail stores
  • Church headquarters hosting
  • Meetinghouse maintenance, inspection, and repair
  • Church media support
  • Seminaries and institutes student recruitment and enrollment
  • Technical support

Gathering Israel through Missionary Efforts

  • Mission offices: administrative assistant, referral management, materials, office support
  • Church media support

Caring for the Poor and Needy

  • Addiction recovery
  • Bishop’s storehouses
  • Canneries
  • Deseret Industries
  • Employment resource centers
  • Inner-city mission

Enabling the Salvation of the Dead

  • Family history research
  • Family history data specialist
  • FamilySearch indexing
  • FamilySearch support

You can find out more about how to be a Church-Service Missionary at the official website.  You will find out how to apply to be a missionary, as well as more information about the program.  You will also be able to find inspirational stories from people who have served these types of missions.

If you are a Young Church Service Missionary candidate, (18-25 for young men, 19-25 for young women), the opportunities are a little different.  I will explain more about this program tomorrow.
