What is the Benicia Talent Exchange?


The Lord has blessed each of us with unique and wonderful talents. Some of us may be of meager means financially but brimming with all sorts of ability and talent.

In this dispensation the Lord has been direct in his charge to his children. He has told us that he has given us many things, "For the benefit of the church of the living God, that every man may improve upon his talents, that every man may gain other talents, yea, even an hundred fold" (D&C 82:18).

We are charged, "Thou shalt not idle away thy time, neither shalt thou bury thy talent that it may not be known" (D&C 60:13).

The Benicia Talent Exchange has been created in an effort to use our individual abilities to bless the lives of others, develop and increase our God given talents and create value within our ward family through free exchange.
