Elders Quorum:

WhatsApp has been selected as the 43rd Ward Elder’s Quorum communication tool.
Install WhatsApp on your mobile device and join the “43rd Ward Elder’s Quorum” community to receive General Messages, Notices on Activities and Service Opportunities, and to post chats related to the Elders Quorum.

  • Why WhatsApp instead of text messaging: The church does not have a general text messaging service which makes it difficult to send group-wide messages among the various cell phone companies. WhatsApp is secure and encrypted and many other wards are using WhatsApp for messaging. The WhatsApp application runs on your mobile phone, tablet, PC, or via the Web and your WhatsApp account can be sync’d between all your devices if you install WhatsApp on more than one device.

  • WhatsApp Installation instructions are detailed in the Word document linked below. Open and follow the instructions. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to any member of the Elders Quorum presidency. CLICK HERE for installation instructions.
