The church I belong to says its mission, or our duty as mem bers, is to:
1) live the gospel
2) care for those in need (which we very actively work at, locally and worldwide)
3) invite others to come to Christ (love, share, invite)
4) unite families for eternity
My own notes/additions to the above include:
1) Live the gospel meaning to keep commandments (like the 10), do what one knows is right, be humble and faithful, etc in order to have the promised ~ "...peace in this life, and eternal life in the world to come." I have seen the results in stable multigenerational family organizations, and ability to work through very hard times. And to know life and hard things have a good purpose and is worth it. And so much more.
2-4) so very much could be said. example-- https://www.thechurchnews.com/living-faith/2021-10-25/national-survey-latter-day-saints-deeper-feelings-community-trust-connection-230453 https://www.thechurchnews.com/living-faith/2021-10-25/nation... ... which resonates with my neighborhood experiences, including with those not of our faith.
And the extensive humanitarian work (where 100% of those specific donations go to those in need, none to admin overhead) and high voluntarism.
