Agent Bishops & Building Schedulers 2025

The bishop whose ward meets at 9:00am in each building is the agent bishop for that building for the year. That same ward is also responsible for providing someone to schedule that building for the year. If the two bishops (2023 and 2024 agent bishops) confer, they can decide together to leave the current building scheduler in the calling for 2024. When new calls are made to fill the Building Scheduler position please notify Brother Dave Jensen brotherDaveJensen@icloud.com

Stake Baptisms 2025

Stake baptism information:

• Wards will not have a regularly scheduled month to oversee Stake Baptisms.
• Baptisms will be coordinated from the Stake level through the assigned High Counselor (Greg Finch).
• Music, Prayers, and a Talk will be assigned from wards participating in the Stake Baptism for the month.
• Ward Primary Presidencies will assign music, prayers, and a talk.
• Each ward that has a new member being baptized will need to have a member of the bishopric present to conduct the confirmation portion of the meeting. (be prepared with a message/thought to share)
• If only one ward has participants in a Stake Baptism, that ward will be solely responsible for the Baptism that month.

If you have comments or concerns, please discuss them with your bishop or branch president. Brother Greg Finch on the High Council is also available for questions.
