Members of the general presidencies of the Relief Society, Young Women and Primary general presidencies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints now have official Instagram accounts to expand their global ministries. The photo- and video-based social media platform is used by millions of people around the world, including many young adults and youth.
The Church leaders’ use of social media platforms demonstrates a desire to connect with members around the world using technology.
Members of the Young Women general presidency were the first to publish on Instagram on Wednesday, November 11, 2020:
“We are excited to connect with the young women where they are,” said Young Women General President Bonnie H. Cordon. “This is a platform where they are connecting with one another, and we hope that we too can connect with them. The Young Women of today have so much light to share, and social media tools like Instagram help give a space for them to share their light and love of the Savior.”
Primary President Joy D. Jones said, “I am grateful for this means of communicating in a more personal way with members across the globe.”
“We’re delighted to be able to communicate with our sisters of all ages around the globe on the Instagram platform,” said Relief Society General President Jean B. Bingham. “This is a wonderful opportunity to increase our feeling of unity as the gospel of Jesus Christ brings us together in love and service.”
In the coming months, the sisters will share messages of the Savior’s love, hope, encouragement and inspiration. Instagram is a platform used by over 1 billion people worldwide, the majority of whom are outside of the United States.
