Resources for the Prescott Valley Stake

The most important work in the latter-days is the gathering.  When we gather scattered Israel on both sides of the veil we fulfill our divine commission to help the Lord in his sacred work to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.  Sharing the gospel should be natural and normal and there's so much out there to share in a natural and normal way, when we love others!  The Prescott Valley AZ Stake has been working diligently to provide you with some digital content that you can share naturally and normally and we house it all here, on our Love, Share, and Invite website hub.  This is all local content that you can share with your friends!  Enjoy videos, graphics, the PV Stake blog, and even podcasts.

Our youth have never been more prepared to serve as full-time missionaries than with Prescott Valley Stake's Master Teacher Missionary Preparation classes that are held monthly on the second Sunday of each month at 6pm, currently held at the Farley home (Viewpoint Ward).  Just attending one meeting before departing for a mission puts our missionaries in a powerful position to be effective teachers of the gospel, but, high school seniors are invited to attend for a whole year before departing for a mission.  Pre-missionaries that attend for a full-year will join the mission field with a strong outline for and teaching experience with all of the missionary lessons.  Missionaries from our stake who get involved with this program are more prepared than ever before to teach the gospel with power and authority.  Powerful missionaries are more confident and more likely to quickly adapt to missionary life.  Take advantage of this great offering from the Prescott Valley Stake.

The Prescott Valley Stake is always blessed with many many amazing young men and women who are here, far from home, serving as full-time missionaries.  These fantastic young men and women have been called to do a great work in our stake and can often be used in so many different and effective ways to do the Lord's work in our stake.  This webpage lists their priorities and some of the creative ways that they can be used in our wards to advance the kingdom here on the Earth.  Take advantage of these missionaries!  As you know, before you know it, they will be transferred on to other areas!

Whether you are a bishop or a primary president, you need support!  The stake has compiled multiple resources for you and organized them by calling.  Bishoprics have access to myriad documents for organizing the ward, YM leaders have resources for running effective YM activities, and we have everything in-between, right here, curated for you! 

Every year, millions of dollars of scholarship money goes unclaimed.  It's time that you put this money to work to help you obtain a better career and a better life.  Here are a many options for scholarships in the state of Arizona.  Additionally, the BYU Pathway Program provides a quality and affordable outlet for higher education and you don't have to move next to a university to obtain it.  Contact Grant and Pearl Turley in the Prescott Valley stake to learn more!  Finally, several institutions near our area provide free tuition (Yavapai College) or reduced tuition (ASU, EVIT, etc.) and love applications from members of The Church of Jesus Christ.  Access even more educational resources here!    

No matter what activity you are planning, SAFETY FIRST!  When we plan safe activities and follow safety guidelines, we not only keep everyone protected from physical harm, we also protect ourselves and the Church from liability.  Please refer to the PV Stake Safety guidelines website.  

We are called to LOVE others, SHARE with others, and INVITE others to learn more about the gospel of Jesus Christ.  When we think of sharing, usually we think of sharing our knowledge of Christ, but sometimes we are called to share the temporal resources of the Church with others.  The Church has so very many resources that are designed to bless the lives of members and our friends of the Church alike.  Click here to peruse some of the resources that we have compiled that are specifically designed to use yourself OR to share with someone who is not yet a member of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

There are so many resources available from local partners, organizations, governmental agencies, and non-governmental agencies, all designed to help people in need.  Sometimes we just need to know where to look  to find them.  Here we will house multiple resources to help our families as we find them and we will continue to grow this list as we discover more.

The latter days are not easy, but, when we all pull together, we will not only survive but thrive!  The Bishops' Storehouse is not just a food and commodities warehouse in Phoenix.  The Bishops' Storehouse, in reality, is all of us.  All members of the Prescott Valley Stake ARE the Bishops' Storehouse for the members living in our area.  If we pool our resources and all come together, we'll be able to help all of our members in need to start thriving like you do! When we pay it forward and pledge our skills and abilities to be wielded by the bishops in our stake to lift our needy members, you are paying it forward against the day when, perhaps, you too might need these commodities and services.
