'Aaronic Ministers: Ministry of Presence' Temple School Course
Order 'Ministry of Presence' Temple School Course
The Aaronic Ministries Council (AMC) was developed in response to the new World Church focus for Aaronic Ministers and the initiative presented by the Presiding Bishopric at World Conference 2002. The new Temple School course AM200 was developed as a result.
The AMC is composed of a facilitator and a group of Aaronic Priesthood representing the three Aaronic Priesthood offices of priest, deacon and teacher, from throughout the area of the Greater Pacific Northwest Mission Center (GPNW). The group meets and maintains contact regularly and will consult with a Bishop as needed. Members of the AMC are committed to participate in identifying all Aaronic Priesthood in the GPNW, making contact and helping them (1) fully understand the breadth and depth of their priesthood office and (2) become more purposeful in their calling in their home congregation. Members of the AMC will work with pastors and congregational leaders in their jurisdiction, if requested, to provide assistance and support in the utilization of Aaronic Priesthood in their congregations.
