About our council

Communication councils and specialists work alongside those in their areas to benefit their communities, correct misconceptions, and demonstrate that Church members follow Jesus Christ. These dedicated people help organizations and individuals communicate positive and accurate messages about the Church and project a positive image. Through our efforts, the Church may be better understood and appreciated, thus prominent individuals may feel more inclined to help the Church in various ways, helping to build bridges of understanding within our communities. 

Church history is replete with examples of influential individuals, not of our faith, who have befriended the Church. Favorably impressed with the good that the Church represents, such individuals frequently endorse Church actions, authorize Church requests, or defend the Church in times of need. Positive relationships provide the foundation for all of these benefits.
