Senior leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have a new place to share their messages and testimonies about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each member of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles now has his own YouTube channel.

Launched on Sunday, Aug. 31, leaders shared their first video messages on the popular video site.

President Russell M. Nelson’s first video is titled “Peacemaking Starts With YOU” and comes from his April 2023 general conference message called “Peacemakers Needed.” He also shared a YouTube Short on his 101st birthday on Sept. 9.

President Nelson’s counselors in the First Presidency, President Dallin H. Oaks and President Henry B. Eyring, both shared videos as well. President Oaks’ video titled “What Does Being Perfect in Jesus Christ Mean?” comes from a message he shared in a Latter-day Saint chapel on a recent ministry in Europe.

President Eyring’s “Because of Temple Covenants, There Is No Need To Fear” video illustrates a message he shared in the April 2024 general conference when he shared his experience at the time of the Teton Dam collapse nearly 50 years ago.

Like many other social media posts from Church leaders, these messages are pulled from various locations and events where the leaders speak. Some are recorded specifically to be shared on social media platforms. This includes videos like President Jeffrey R. Holland’s “Why Kirtland Ohio Is So Important in Christ’s Restored Church” video in which President Holland shares some of what he has learned from his study of Doctrine and Covenants.

While the current videos on each channel are published in English, captions are available in Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Other languages may become available in the future.
