​Genesis, an organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was established on October 19, 1971. It developed from meetings between Church leaders and Black converts in the Salt Lake Valley, many of whom were descendants of early pioneers, and some who were less active in the Church of Jesus Christ.

Estado de la misión:

The mission of Genesis is to support members of the Church of Jesus Christ who are of African descent, to engage all Church members in dialogue, and to recognize the contributions of all Saints, regardless of race, ethnicity, and background.

Red de seguridad para todas las personas

Special care was taken to ensure that Genesis not be seen as an attempt to segregate the races. In this sense, Genesis functions like other ethnic units and congregations of the Church, like a Lao or Chinese branch, a Spanish Ward, and so forth. This provides a safety net for people of different backgrounds and cultures while they adapt to their Church home and to one another.

Génesis reconoce que existen diferentes puntos de vista con respecto a las unidades étnicas dentro de la Iglesia, pero cree que los beneficios tangibles de la actividad de la Iglesia, la retención y el respeto por las diversas culturas son esenciales para la misión de la Iglesia, encontrar gozo al venir a Cristo. Génesis continúa sirviendo bajo el liderazgo del sacerdocio. El grupo de la Presidencia de Génesis de toda la Iglesia incluye a Jamal Willis, Davis Stovall y Joseph Kaluba.

Líderes comunitarios

The San Francisco Bay Area Genesis Group is led by Michael King and counselors Thomas Cain and Nathaniel Whitfield. They report to Stake and Area Authorities. We look for opportunities to share our experiences and history and talk with congregations and unit organizations, community and clergy leaders, and people of goodwill everywhere.
