My Covenant Path

We are doing our 5th Sunday lesson on the new My Covenant Path app. I have been assigned to present the technical portion of the lesson but I can't find it. I have looked in the Member Tools, which is what I think the training video was showing, but I don't have it anywhere.

Are we going to get access to the app before Sunday?
Do you have screenshots to share in the meantime?

Sincerely,
Marion
Nampa 27th Ward

I haven't heard of a "My Covenant Path" app. Where did you find a training video? Is it an area initiative, or a pilot of some sort?

Starts at: 25:12

Interesting, it's definitely Member Tools – in this case, iOS Member Tools. I would suspect that it's either a pilot (new functionality being tested in your stake), or a menu option that's only visible for new members. Do you have any new members in your ward/stake who might be willing to check if they see it in Member Tools?

If it's a pilot, it may require downloading a beta version of Member Tools that isn't publicly available. If that's the case, I would expect that someone in your stake would have been given instructions for how to join the beta/pilot.

According to the video, this is a pilot program in the North America Central Area. I am on the Member Tools beta but I am not in the NAC area. I do not seen anything in Tools, but I would guess that anyone in the pilot area should be able see it in Member Tools.

Question about edit access: I am the Relief Society counselor over missionary work. It should be my job to help keep this app updated for our new members. However, I only have view only access. Is there a way to change the permission so the Relief Society counselors have edit access?

I have been using my covenant path for over a month for new members but now it is gone. The whole audiences tab is gone. This was very useful and it would be nice to have it back.

I found it under adults and then new or retiring members:)

Is there an active link to review the training video that was done on Dec 2, 2020 regarding the Progress Records and My Covenant Path. I can't find it and I wanted to review it. I believe Elder Hunsaker Facilitated it.

I also would like to know if there is a training video for the "covenant path progress" tab

emosier (#6) ... did you ever get a response to your question? As ward clerk, I've been asked to grant access to a new member's Covenant Path, to her ministering sister. Not sure if that is either 1) possible... or 2) appropriate/in keeping with the intent of the application and personal privacy expectations.

Edit permissions are active based on calling. Giving edit permissions outside those granted by calling are not currently possible. I am not sure what callings have edit permission. But from the responsibilities identified in the General Handbook, 23.5.6, I am guessing the ward council members and the ward mission leader would have edit permission.

Not sure if that is either 1) possible... or 2) appropriate.....

I think it's ideal to actively involve ministering brothers and sisters in helping new members along their own covenant path. There is much info that only certain leaders have access to, and as appropriate they can share portions of that info to those who they have delegated responsibility. So as long as the Bishop agrees, I think it would be very helpful to have a RS Presidency member meet with the ministering sister(s) during a ministering interview, and share what the next step(s) are in the new member's progress, and delegate that stewardship to the ministering sister(s).

But as frequently noted, it won't happen unless The Brethren direct the developers to make it so

Understood. To clarify, I wasn't intending to speak about developers granting additional access. Just my perspective that if I was an EQ President and had a new member who I wanted to help along the Covenant Path, I would try and use ministering brothers to support that effort. As EQ President I would have access to the information in Tools/LCR, and could then share relevant information verbally during a ministering interview, and invite the ministering brother(s) to support progress towards the new member's next goal.

In other words, ministering brothers/sisters not having direct access to the information, shouldn't impede them from being able to support the Covenant Path progress, if good communication exists between them and their leaders.

I believe The Covenant Path is a leadership tool. Not seeable to the lay membership.

There’s two separate parts to my covenant path. There’s a leadership component (My Covenant Path Progress Report), where attendance and preach my gospel lessons are tracked, fellow shippers assigned, etc. (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/hel ... g=eng&_r=1)

There’s also a teaching component that can be found in the tools app under Adults -> New or Returning Members -> My Covenent Path.

I don't see anything labeled "Adults" in either Tools or Gospel Library. Is the teaching component only open to certain callings?

I’m sorry it is in the Gospel Library

Ok, found it. Thanks. I was starting from "Home" instead of "Library".

I didn't find a video, but a PDF, PowerPoint presentation
