We often get questions about what our Church's stance on Child Abuse. So to help others understand, we want to be clear on exactly what we believe and how we approach Child abuse in our church:

As followers of Jesus Christ, we condemn, in the strongest terms, offending (harming) or abusing children. Abuse is not just a social malady and a criminal act; it is absolutely forbidden by the commandments of God.

We are often asked how we view other religions? The answer is simple, We value all of God's children, and honor and respect their beliefs. This article will clearly explain our beliefs of interfaith relationships:

A respect for the diverse beliefs and unique contributions of all the world’s faiths is one of the hallmarks of the Church. Since its founding, the Church has elevated the principle of interfaith relations.

We are deeply saddened at the sudden passing of Elder W. Mark Bassett, a General Authority Seventy who had been serving since April of 2016. Elder Bassett passed away on May 11, 2026, as a result of a traumatic brain injury. He was with his family in St. George, Utah, when the incident occurred.

At the time of his death, Elder Bassett was serving as the Executive Director of the Missionary Department, overseeing worldwide missionary efforts. His service in this calling coincided with a period of historic growth in missionary efforts around the world and unprecedented levels of missionaries deciding to serve. Elder Bassett will be deeply missed and always remembered for his great faith and dedicated service to the Lord Jesus Christ.

During a devotional for missionaries held at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah, just days before his passing, Elder Bassett bore testimony and challenged missionaries to “Invite everyone to come—and do everything you can to help them enter this beautiful gate, which leads to eternal life." His devotion in life reflected these teachings and leaves a loving legacy for all.

Our love and prayers are with his dear wife Angela, his children, and his grandchildren during this difficult time.

My mother was an example of pure goodness. Her expectations motivated me. Almost every action I made was measured against the thought, “I do not want to disappoint my mom.”

Together with my father, my parents anchored our home in the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was the foundation of our lives. I will always be grateful for my mother’s righteous influence on me early in my life.

I am equally grateful to my wife Lesa and the wonderful mother she has always been for our children.
