Category:Primary General Presidencies

The Primary is the official children's organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is part of the church's General Auxiliaries. It originally began in 1878 in Farmington, Utah, but was adopted churchwidje in 1880. The organization is led by a General President and her two counselors. Each stake and ward also has a presidency that oversees the organization within their respective units, but this category focuses on those at the Church-wide level.
