Unit history tool
UnitHistory.ChurchofJesusChrist.org
On the day The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, 6 April 1830, the Lord instructed that “there shall be a record kept among you” chronicling the church’s history (Doctrine and Covenants 21:1). Church members are still under this command from the Lord. To assist us in keeping this record, a new unit history tool has been created that allows ward leaders to upload text and images to record our ward history. We invite all ward members to contribute.
