About the author
Founded in 1830, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints traces its beginnings to Joseph Smith, who taught that God had called him to restore the church of Jesus Christ in modern times. After early growth and intense persecution, the church moved west under Brigham Young and established its headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Over time, the church developed a distinct identity shaped by additional scripture such as the Book of Mormon, a lay ministry, temple ordinances, and a strong emphasis on family and missionary service. It has also built a large international presence, with congregations, temples, and humanitarian efforts in many countries.
Its history includes both rapid expansion and serious controversy, including conflict over early plural marriage and ongoing public debate about some of its teachings and policies. Even so, it remains one of the most influential new religious movements to emerge from the United States.
