- Collect tithing or other Church donations. These donations should be made
to each member's home ward. They can also be sent directly to Church headquarters
if the members are new converts.
- Baptize individuals or ordain members to offices in the Aaronic Priesthood, unless
the group leader has been authorized to do so by the stake, mission, or area
president.
- Interview members for or ordain them to the Melchizedek Priesthood. Latter-day Saint chaplains may interview a person for advancement to the Melchizedek Priesthood if authorized by the stake, mission, or district president.
- Serve as a judge in Israel with regard to unresolved serious transgressions
by a member of the group. The group leader can assist in helping a member
through the repentance process but does not have the keys to resolve transgressions
that would normally fall under the responsibilities of a bishop or stake
president. Therefore, the group leader should seek guidance from the stake,
mission, or area president in these matters. Generally, these cases would be referred back to the individual's home bishop or stake president.
