Is It The Mormon Church or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints?

The official name, and the real name, is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Many people know us, and call us Mormons.  So where does the term "Mormons" come from?

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ we believe in a book called "The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Christ".  We believe it to be the word of God just as we believe the Bible to be the word of God.  Because of our belief in the Book of Mormon people have nicknamed us Mormons.

So what is the Book of Mormon and where did it come from?

"Knowing that doubt, disbelief, and misinformation would remain after centuries of darkness, our loving Heavenly Father brought forth an ancient volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible, which contains the fullness of the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ. This volume of holy scripture provides convincing evidence that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God. This record is the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

 

Joseph Smith was directed by a heavenly messenger named Moroni to a hill where gold plates had lain hidden for centuries. These gold plates contained the writings of prophets giving an account of God’s dealings with some of the ancient inhabitants of the Americas. Joseph Smith translated the contents of these plates by the power of God. The prophets in the Book of Mormon knew about the mission of the Savior and taught His gospel. After His Resurrection, Christ appeared to these people. He taught them His gospel and established His Church. In order to know that the Book of Mormon is true, a person must read, ponder, and pray about it. The honest seeker of truth will soon come to feel that the Book of Mormon is the word of God." Preach My Gospel

 

The Book of Mormon will help anyone and everyone feel closer to their Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ.  The Book of Mormon can and will provide you with peace in our troubled day if you will read from its pages daily, ponder its teachings, and pray.
