Many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have heard of the Aaronic Priesthood, and the responsibilities that come with its membership. As powerful priesthood holders, Aaronic Priesthood holders strive to fulfill their duties with honor and righteousness. However, perhaps the most overlooked aspect of the Aaronic Priesthood is the positive benefits it offers. Here, we will explore several of those benefits.

The first positive benefit of the Aaronic Priesthood is its inherent nature of service. As Aaronic Priesthood members, it is our responsibility to serve others with love and humility, while also being mindful of each individual’s relationship with God. Holders of this priesthood provide instruction and support to those we serve, often in the form of teaching or leading callings. This allows us to develop strong relationships and bond with our fellow members, families, and friends.

The Aaronic Priesthood also provides members with opportunities for growth and development. As mentioned above, members of this priesthood have a responsibility to serve. Through performing callings and service opportunities, Aaronic Priesthood holders are able to learn and improve on areas such as organization, communication, and leadership. These skillsets are essential for any individual’s success, regardless of age.

In addition, Aaronic Priesthood members participate in faith-building experiences. One such experience is performing baptisms for those who would like to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Those who undergo this ordinance are comforted by the knowledge that the spiritually uplifting covenant has been sealed by the authority of God. In turn, those who officiate in the baptism are spiritually edified, and are reassured that they are performing their duty in the Lord’s house.

Being a part of the Aaronic Priesthood is both a blessing and a privilege. As members of this priesthood, we are given the opportunity to strengthen our testimonies and serve others. We foster relationships, gather knowledge, and contribute to the wellbeing of others. All of these benefits are invaluable and essential to our growth and development as individuals, and will remain with us in our future endeavors.
