"Joyfully Gathering Israel One by One in Christ"
"Joyfully Gathering Israel One by One in Christ"
Searching after and rescuing the one, while ministering faithfully to the ninety-nine.
We follow the Savior’s example by seeking out individuals in need of love, support, or connection. Gathering happens one by one as we minister as He would.
Feasting upon the words of living prophets and the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon—the Lord’s instrument of gathering.
We deepen conversion by studying the teachings of living prophets and immersing ourselves in the scriptures. The Book of Mormon brings power, clarity, and testimony of Jesus Christ.
Walking the covenant path intent on receiving—and helping others receive— eternal blessings and a greater measure of God’s power in the House of the Lord.
We come closer to Jesus Christ by keeping covenants and participating in temple ordinances. As we strengthen our own covenant relationship with Him, we help others progress on their path toward eternal blessings.
“We don’t need to worry about the overall reach of the work of redemption; that’s the Savior’s role, as the Lord of the vineyard.We help by teaching one here, ministering to one there, inviting the one in front of us.And to me, the marvelous thing is that whatever we can do will be adequate.”
President D. Todd Christofferson

What will I be doing as an ordinance worker?
What will I be doing as an ordinance worker?
All ordinance workers receive "line assignments" which include everything from greeting patrons at the recommend desk, providing directions to patrons at assigned stations within the temple, assigning lockers, performing initiatory ordinances and working at the initiatory desk, presenting and receiving patrons at the veil, officiating in endowment sessions and more...
What is the time commitment?
What is the time commitment?
Ordinance worker shifts are broken into 4 shifts throughout the day:
Morning 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Midday 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Afternoon 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Evening 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Workers are required to attend a preparation meeting 40 minutes prior to each shift and to work at least one shift per week.
Will I be able to take vacation and travel?
Will I be able to take vacation and travel?
Yes! Working in the temple does require a weekly commitment of time but taking time off for vacations and other travel is not a problem at all. The temple provides a Worker Portal to facilitate substitution requests and asks that workers obtain substitutes for their missed shifts. If a temple worker is ill, they simply ask that you send your shift coordinator a message to notify them.
Are days and assignments flexible?
Are days and assignments flexible?
When a temple worker is recommended to the temple, they have an opportunity to visit with a member of the temple presidency and discuss their schedule and availability. Once a schedule is assigned, it does not fluctuate week to week. Regarding assignment flexibility, assignments rotate approximately every 3 months and workers can discuss specific concerns or preferences with their respective shift coordinators
Will I have to memorize my assignment?
Will I have to memorize my assignment?
It's important that members interested in working in the temple understand that not all the assignments require heavy memorization or put you in uncomfortable positions where you have to perform (think SL Temple). Virtually all of the assignments that require extensive dialogue (initiatory, veil, name issue) now have a card posted with the verbiage to reference. This has made serving as an ordinance worker much less stressful and accessible to everyone.
"I promise you that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples."
