What Is Genesis?
The Genesis Group meets on the first Sunday of each month from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the meetinghouse located at 6710 South 1300 East in Salt Lake City,
Utah. Everyone is welcome to attend. The monthly meetings feature
a fireside format with guest speakers, a Black gospel song as a practice hymn, and testimonies. The organization operates
with Relief Society, Singles, Youth, and Primary auxiliaries.
Genesis is not a substitute for ward activities, but is a support to members of the Church and to those interested in the Church.
The Genesis Group was established in October 1971 by the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a dependent branch to serve the needs of African-American Latter-day Saints. Following the priesthood revelation in 1978, The Genesis Group continues to host firesides and other activities to support and edify all Latter-day Saints, their families and friends, and individuals interested in the Church. The Genesis Group also provides assistance to mission presidents, stake presidents, and bishops. The Genesis Group operates under the direction of Elder Stephen B. Allen, managing director of the Missionary Department for the Church and a member of the Fifth Quorum of the Seventy. For more information on Elder Allen, click here.
