The Primary is an organization for children ages 18 months to 11 years. It teaches them the gospel of Jesus Christ and helps them build faith. Primary helps children grow in their faith and develop their talents through participation in the Church’s Children and Youth program. Primary also helps prepare children for service in the temple, which they can provide on a limited basis beginning at age 12.

The Primary General Presidency, which directs the Primary for the entire Church, consists of a president and two counselors. These three women work to strengthen children and families throughout the Church.

Camille N. Johnson was sustained as the Primary General President on April 3, 2021. Her two counselors are Susan H. Porter and Amy A. Wright.

“Members of the Primary General Presidency travel frequently to meet with and teach Primary leaders and children throughout the world. They counsel with other general and local Church leaders to teach, serve, and watch over the children and families of the Church.”[1]
