For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, few things are more sacred than the priesthood.
The Church teaches that it is "the power and authority that God gives to man to act in all things necessary for the salvation of God's children."
This sacred power comes directly from Jesus Christ, and every priesthood holder can trace their ordination back to Him.
This lineage is called a priesthood line of authority, which shows how the priesthood has been passed down through generations — from one worthy man to another — by the laying on of hands.
For Latter-day Saints, a priesthood line of authority is not only a historical record but also a reminder of the sacred responsibility and divine power of the priesthood.
MyLineofAuthority.com helps you create a personalized document that honors your unique priesthood line.
This special, visually appealing document lets you see and celebrate the sacred connection that ties your family to the early Church and to Jesus Christ.
And it's sure to be a timeless, treasured keepsake.
A unique way to honor your line of authority
Traditionally, priesthood lines of authority are printed on paper, sometimes framed or displayed at home or in church, or even laminated as bookmarks for scriptures. But now, there's a more meaningful way to honor this sacred connection and bring it to life.
MyLineofAuthority.com offers a unique service that transforms your priesthood lineage. Instead of just listing names, the platform helps you create a personalized document that includes photographs of the priesthood holders in your line.
If you don't have a photo of a particular ancestor or individual, don't worry — the website uses AI technology to generate historically accurate images based on available descriptions and time periods.
There's something deeply powerful about connecting names with actual faces. It transforms what could be a simple family history record into a vivid, visual representation of the divine authority passed down through the generations.
Once your document is complete, you'll receive a beautifully designed PDF that's ready for printing, framing and cherishing for years to come.
The website offers a variety of design options, allowing you to customize your document to your liking. Plus, you'll have lifetime access, so you can update or make changes at any time.
The story behind MyLineofAuthority.com
Whether for a birthday, Father's Day, or another special occasion, a personalized priesthood line of authority makes a meaningful gift that any priesthood holder will treasure. Seeing the faces of the faithful men who helped pass down the priesthood will undoubtedly touch their hearts. This is exactly what inspired the creation of MyLineofAuthority.com.
Several years ago, the website's creator wanted to give his father a one-of-a-kind Father's Day gift — a priesthood line of authority that went beyond just names.
He researched his father's priesthood lineage and added photos of each priesthood holder.
The result was a beautiful, personalized document that not only listed the names but also showed the faces of those who had passed down the priesthood, all the way to his father.
His father was moved to tears when he saw the faces of those who had established the sacred chain of authority leading to him. It became a constant reminder of his sacred responsibility and connection to the divine legacy of the priesthood.
This moment sparked the creation of MyLineofAuthority.com. Over time, countless fellow Latter-day Saints reached out to request similar gifts for their families.
Each one was deeply touched by seeing their priesthood lineage presented in such a meaningful way — complete with images and names that told a rich, personal story.
Occasions for Receiving a Line of Authority
A line of authority is established when an individual receives either the Aaronic or Melchizedek Priesthood from one with proper authority. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially records Melchizedek Priesthood lines of authority, but not Aaronic Priesthood lines. However, the Aaronic Priesthood line of authority does exist.
With MyLineofAuthority.com, you can personally record an Aaronic Priesthood line of authority. This allows you to document a young man's progression through the offices of Deacon, Teacher, or Priest, serving as a reminder of their duties and responsibilities.
Significant events for possibly gifting this remarkable gift include:
- Aaronic Priesthood Ordination
- Melchizedek Priesthood Ordination
- Missionary preparation
- Father's Day
- Birthday
- Christmas
