<h1>Who We Are</h1>
</header>
<p>
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 on June 9, 1978, Genesis Group continued to host meetings on the
first Sunday of every month, and other activities, to support and edify all
Latter-day Saints, their families and friends, and individuals interested in The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
</p>
<p>
Today, the current purpose was provided by the late President M. Russell
Ballard who said: “Today the Genesis Group is organized in harmony with the
Church’s general handbook as a multi-stake activity group in the Utah Area.
Its main purpose is to bring Church members and others together as fellow
citizens with the Saints and to encourage and support black latter-day Saints,
their families, and their friends to build faith in Jesus Christ, strengthen their
membership in His restored Church, and foster unity.”
</p>
<p>
Genesis Group provides assistance to the Utah Area Presidency, mission presidents, stake presidents,
bishops, and ward organizations. The group is organized under the Utah Area Presidency by
Elder Kevin Pearson of the First Quorum of the Seventy. It is overseen through assignment by
Elder Hutch Fale, a member of the Twelfth Quorum of the Seventy.
</p>
<p>
Today the Genesis Group is led by President Ronell Hugh, First Counselor Roy Banks,
Second Counselor Thom Reed, and Executive Secretary Errol Balfour.

<p>
We are not an auxiliary like the Relief Society but we are more
than a 'fireside' while less than a ward. What fireside has a
presidency set apart to a specific purpose? What fireside has
its own auxiliaries? . . . Genesis is by design not like any other
unit of the Church but there is beauty in that special calling.
There is also responsibility. We exist and serve at the pleasure
of the leadership of the Lord's Church. Our purpose is the Lord's
purpose - we help to bring souls to the Restored Gospel."
<br><br>
Regular activities include the annual summer picnic, usually
held the first Saturday in June, with 300+ in attendance from
all over the United States and Canada. On the first Saturday in
December is the annual Christmas potluck dinner. March brings the
Brothers Breakfast and September the Sisters Breakfast.
Other annual activities are held for Primary and the youth.
