Description
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter often referred to as the Mormon Church, is the largest denomination originating from the Latter Day Saint movement founded by Joseph Smith, Jr . The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has established congregations worldwide. Based on this number, it is the fourth largest Christian denomination in the United States. Adherents — usually referred to as Latter day Saints, LDS, or Mormons are restorationist Christians and are not a part of the Catholicism, Orthodox, or Protestant traditions. Like other Restorationist organizations, the LDS Church teaches that after the events described in the New Testament, there was a Great Apostasy, or "falling away" from the true Christian faith and priesthood.
