I have been looking all over the LDSJOBS website and this LDSTECH website for quite sometime and have seen nothing about mapping or GIS.
I would love to work for the church. I love analyzing data using GIS applications like ArcMap. I feel that the church's data should be analyzed using GIS applications and methods. I know this would greatly help the work of the Lord progress.
Any suggestion? Please respond to this thread. Please see my LDSTECH profile and send me an email.
Thank you so much for the help!!

There have been many, many discussions on this forum that have related to GIS. The Church uses GIS technology extensively in creating maps and tracking boundaries of all sorts of entities in the Church. Here are a few threads to get you started:
- GIS Data and Church
- GIS (Geographic Information Systems)
- Stake / Ward Boundry GIS in Google Earth
- Ward Boundary Changes
- Mapping Ideas for Realignments
You posted this in the Technical Recruiting section of the forum, which is appropriate for your employment-related question. A quick search on ldsjobs.com showed several openings related to GIS with some companies, but I didn't see any job openings with the Church in this particular area.bigth83 wrote:I would love to work for the church.

Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
