One of the hallmarks of the Church is the belief that God is still speaking to modern-day prophets to lead and guide His children just as He did with Moses, Abraham, and others in Biblical times. General Conference is a time twice a year when members and friends of The Church of Jesus Christ get to hear the guiding voice of the Lord through the prophet, President Russell M. Nelson.

During the conference along with President Nelson, many other church leaders will have an opportunity to speak, including members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Like the prophet, apostles also receive guidance and revelation from God, as did Peter, James, John, and Paul from the New Testament. The main responsibility of an apostle is to testify of Christ and invite all to turn to the Savior and develop their own relationship with Him.
Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said during last April’s general conference, “I testify that Jesus Christ is our resurrected and living redeemer, and I promise that He will guide, protect and strengthen us as we walk in the meekness of His spirit.”
The conference will also feature women and auxiliary leaders of the Church.
All are invited to participate in the Semiannual General Conference to hear the inspiring messages and learn more of Jesus Christ.
