A calling is a member's area of responsibility within the workings of the church. Most active members of the church take part in some calling or position within the church. The length of time for a calling can vary, and most members have served in multiple callings throughout their lives. Callings on a local level are issued through the inspiration of the [[Holy Ghost|Spirit} by the Bishop, who then extends an invitation to the member for the calling. The member is then presented and sustained in a church meeting. After the sustaining, the member is then set apart for the calling and is free to do the work that the calling requires. Some callings issued in a local ward are Young Women's president, Sunday school teacher, chorister, Relief Society teacher, activities committee member, etc.
