Brother Anderson, along with eight other members of Sunday School Advisory Council, assists the Sunday School General  Presidency — President Paul V.

Brother Anderson has previously served as a stake president, bishop, high councilor and elders quorum president and served as a full-time missionary in the Colombia Cali Mission.

He received a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University and a master’s degree from the California State University system, both degrees in education. He worked for Seminaries and Institutes of Religion for 40 years and is now retired.

Brother Andersoon was born in Whittier, California, to Heber Grant Anderson and Beth Collings. He is married to Martine Fiddler, and they have two daughters and five grandsons. He lives in the South Jordan 8th Ward, South Jordan Utah Stake.

Brother Roland Léporé, a former member of the Sunday School Advisory Council, was released when he was sustained as an Area Seventy during the April 2025 General Conference.
