Service Missionary
Service missionaries serve for up to 18 months (young women ages 19–29) and up to 24 months (young men ages 18–25). They live at home and serve locally. They serve as close to full time as their capability and circumstances allow. Each service missionary is provided a customized mission experience uniquely tailored to his or her talents, skills, and gifts. During their missions, it is common for service missionaries to serve in multiple assignments, including approved charitable organizations, Church operations, and stake-assigned service opportunities. Throughout their missions, service missionaries are under the ecclesiastical direction of their stake presidents and under the operational direction of their service mission leaders.

Service Missionary Purpose
Our purpose is to help others come unto Christ
by serving them as the Savior would.
