Theology Formation Team


The Theology Formation Team is a World Church Team that advises the Presidency in addressing key theological issues.

The Theology Formation Team was created by the First Presidency in 2002 to advise the Presidency in addressing key theological issues facing the church. Also, a purpose of the team is to enrich theological reflection among the church’s members and leaders.

One of the primary roles of the First Presidency is to help the church to clarify its beliefs, identity, and mission. Skilled theological reflection on important issues and questions is vital to this process. The team is assigned several questions for theological reflection each triennium.
