Temple and Family History

Taylorsville 23rd Ward 2024 Temple and Family History Plan

Family History:

• Regular Family History activity to be scheduled monthly

• Focus on expanded Login for every individual member (97 out of 497 member, 197 endowed member) 

• Focus on training/teaching 4 generational family history charts with Family history consultants & Youth family history consultants (desired outcome is higher temple name submission and expansion of family history) 

• Youth consultant to teach 2-4 youth a year on setting up family tree user & establishing 4 generation tree

• Adult Consultants same as above but adults plus how to discover your family names

Temple:

• Monthly ward temple night

• Endowments set up time 10:20am 6:40pm

• Sealing Set up 7:20

• Review every six months to make sure we are still fulfilling the need of the ward

• Submit Names for temple work

• Instruct how to use Family Tree & pull family names for temple work

• Encourage temple work for your ancestry not just temple names. 

• Temple Class

• Have an ongoing temple class 2 times a year

• Preferred months Feb & July (based on people set new goals at the start of the year) 

• Invited attendance by Bishopric, EQ, RS

• Encourage all members to have a current temple recommend and to attend the temple soon.

•  (we cannot establish a goal with times a year and such)

Results:

In reviewing Family History Activity Reports we are hoping to see an increase in the following metrics: 

1. Family History Member submission increase (already higher than last year)

2. First four-generation tree to increase from 40% to 50%

3. Members logged in to exceed last year

4. Members adding names to family history exceed 20 individual users

5. Youth to become active in family history on individual logins (current 0)
