Elder Jack N. Gerard, counsellor in the Europe Central Area Presidency, welcomed guests as they began their tour of the offices, which form the heart of the Church's administrative and outreach activities in Europe. Guests proceeded to meet office staff who described the various programmes and services coordinated from this new facility. Previously, the local Europe Central Area workforce had been located in five different facilities across the larger Frankfurt area.
