The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provides mobile applications and social media websites for its members and the world. This presentation was shown at Brigham Young University's Education Week. This is the third presentation in the series The Church's Mobile and Social Presence.

1. THE CHURCH‟S MOBILE AND
SOCIAL PRESENCE
BECOMING A SOCIAL MEMBER

2. TECHNOLOGY
INVENTIONS
“With the Lord providing these miracles of
communication, and with the increased efforts and
devotion of our missionaries and all of us, and all
others who are “sent,” surely the divine injunction
will come to pass: “For, verily, the sound must go
forth from this place into all the world, and unto the
uttermost parts of the earth—the gospel must be
preached unto every creature. …” (D&C 58:64.)
And we must find a way.”
QUOTES
President Spencer W. Kimball
Ensign, October 1974

3. TECHNOLOGY
COME AND SEE
“There are new ways to invite others to „come and
see.‟ Let‟s make sharing our faith online more a
part of our daily life.
LDS.org, Mormon.org, Facebook, Twitter—all
provide opportunities.”
Elder Neil L. Andersen
April 2013 General Conference
QUOTES

4. TECHNOLOGY
PARTICIPATE IN THE CONVERSATION
“As you participate in this conversation and utilize
the tools of new media, remember who you are—
Latter-day Saints. . . . There is no need to argue or
contend with others regarding our beliefs. There is
no need to become defensive or belligerent. Our
position is solid; the Church is true. We simply need
to have a conversation, as friends in the same room
would have, always guided by the prompting of the
Spirit and constantly remembering the Atonement of
the Lord Jesus Christ, which reminds us of how
precious are the children of our Father in Heaven.”
Elder M. Russell Ballard
Ensign, July 2008
QUOTES

5. TECHNOLOGY
USING MEDIA
“I offer two questions for consideration in your
personal pondering and prayerful studying: 1. Does
the use of various technologies and media invite or
impede the constant companionship of the Holy
Ghost in your life? 2. Does the time you spend
using various technologies and media enlarge or
restrict your capacity to live, to love, and to serve in
meaningful ways?”
Elder David A. Bednar
Ensign, June 2010

“We believe in being
honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all
men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—
We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many
things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is
anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we
seek after these things.”
