Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been sharing their witnesses of the Savior on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram for more than a decade.
Starting last fall, each member of the church’s First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles have had videos posted to YouTube that testify of Jesus Christ. And Latter-day Saints and friends are invited to follow.
Each church leader is “sharing messages of the restored gospel on YouTube,” according to a recent release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org. They each have their own YouTube channel, and “videos have been added to these pages since the fall of 2025.”

See the First Presidency’s most recent YouTube posts
Church President Oaks’ most recent YouTube video is titled “Sharing God’s Love This Christmas,” and in it, President Oaks encourages viewers to reach beyond their “normal ties of love and friendship.”
Christmas is “a time for forgiving, a time to heal old wounds and restore relationships,” the Latter-day Saint prophet said in his Dec. 21 video.
President Eyring’s most recent video was published Dec. 7 and features his message from the First Presidency’s annual Christmas devotional.
“I promise that as we are prayerful and as we open our hearts and minds to the whisperings of the Holy Ghost, the Lord will direct us to find someone that he loves perfectly who needs our kindness during this holiday season,” President Eyring said on that occasion.
President Christofferson’s most recent video, titled “Look Unto Me, and Be Ye Saved,” features clips of his October 2025 general conference address, where he taught:
“In looking to God, we can find peace in difficulty, and our faith can continue to grow even in times of doubt and spiritual challenge. We can receive strength in the face of opposition and isolation. We can reconcile the ideal with the present reality.”
Videos on each channel are currently published in English, but captions are available in Spanish, Portuguese and French.
Those interested can also find messages from leaders and other church-related content on the church’s YouTube channel and on the Church News’ YouTube channel.
