Member Guide

1. What this is

Your elders quorum uses the Quarterly Visit Coordinator to make scheduling your quarterly ministering interview easy. Once you subscribe, it will text you a few times that work, let you pick one with a single reply, confirm the interview, and remind you before it happens.

You don't sign into anything and you don't install an app. You subscribe once on a web page, and everything after that happens by text message.

The texts themselves say "quarterly visit" — that's just the app's wording for your ministering interview with a member of the quorum presidency.

Subscribing is completely optional. If you'd rather not get texts, your quorum leader will simply continue to coordinate with you directly.


2. Subscribing (opt-in)

A member of your quorum presidency or a quorum administrator will give you a personal opt-in code — on a small printed slip (often with a QR code) or by message.

  1. Go to https://ministering.beaconpointe2nd.org/join. If your slip has a QR code, just scan it with your phone's camera — it opens the page with your code already filled in.
  2. Enter your opt-in code and your mobile number.
  3. Check the consent box ("I agree to receive quarterly visit-coordination text messages…").
  4. Press Subscribe.

You'll see a "You're subscribed!" confirmation on screen and get a confirmation text on your phone shortly after. That's it — you're set for the whole program.

A few things to know before you subscribe - Message frequency varies (you'll typically only hear from it around scheduling time each quarter). - Message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier plan. - Your mobile information is not shared with third parties for marketing. - Consent is not required for anything — it just enables the texts.


3. What texts you'll get, and how to reply

Every message starts with your quorum's name so you know it's legitimate. If you minister with a companion, the scheduling text may be addressed to both of you together.

The scheduling proposal

You'll get a text offering a few times, like:

Beacon Pointe 2nd Ward: Hi Michael! Quarterly visit with David — pick 1/2/3: 1) Jul 13 9:00 AM 2) Jul 20 2:00 PM 3) Jul 27 6:30 PM. Reply STOP to opt out.

Reply with the number of the time that works for you (for example, 2).

Confirmation and reminders

Once a time is chosen, the interview is confirmed. You'll then get a reminder the day before and another about an hour before.

If your quorum leader has set a location for the time you picked, the confirmation and your reminders also say where to meet. The scheduling proposal never names a place — you learn where only after a time is confirmed, so a location change before then is simply reflected in what you're sent next.

After the interview

The system may text the presidency member conducting the interview (not you) to confirm it happened — so don't be surprised if it comes up.


4. The keywords you're always in control of

You can text any of these at any time:

Text this What happens
STOP You're unsubscribed and won't get any more texts.
START You're re-subscribed after having stopped.
HELP You get help info and how to reach your quorum leader for support.

(Other common stop/cancel words like UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, and QUIT also unsubscribe you.)

You are always in charge. Opting out won't affect anything else — your quorum leader will just coordinate with you the usual way.


5. Common questions

I lost my opt-in code / never got one. Ask a member of your quorum presidency or an administrator — they can give you your code again and the link to https://ministering.beaconpointe2nd.org/join.

I entered my code but it didn't work. Double-check the code and your mobile number and try again. If it still won't go through, ask your quorum leader or an administrator to confirm your code.

I subscribed but haven't gotten any texts. That's normal between scheduling periods — you'll usually only hear from it around interview-scheduling time each quarter.

The texts stopped and I never texted STOP. Most likely your ward's ministering assignments were updated and you're no longer on the roster the system works from. When that happens it stops texting you automatically — you don't have to do anything, and you haven't been opted out. If you think it's a mistake, ask your quorum presidency or an administrator; they can put you back, and you won't need to subscribe again.

I replied with a number but I'm not sure it worked. If a time was accepted, you'll get a confirmation and, later, reminders. If the system couldn't understand a few replies in a row, it stops texting and a quorum leader will reach out personally instead.

I changed my mind — I don't want texts anymore. Text STOP at any time. To start again later, text START or subscribe again at the https://ministering.beaconpointe2nd.org/join page.

Do I need this to have my quarterly interview? No. This just makes scheduling easier. If you don't subscribe, your quorum leader coordinates with you directly, the same as always.
