The Role of the Quorum of the Twelve

The History of the Quorum of the Twelve

The Quorum of the Twelve was first organized in February 1835, when the Church was still in its infancy. At that time, the Prophet Joseph Smith called twelve men to serve as Apostles, and they became the first members of the Quorum of the Twelve. Over the years, the Quorum has undergone significant changes, with individuals being added or released as necessary. Today, the Quorum of the Twelve consists of fifteen members, each of whom is considered to be a prophet, seer, and revelator.
