Mormon Church
Salt Lake headquarters
The Mormon Church is an informal name for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a Christian denomination founded by Joseph Smith in 1830 in New York.
The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, where early members settled after migrating westward.
Members are called Mormons after the Book of Mormon, a scripture Smith claimed to have translated from golden plates.
The church has discouraged the term "Mormon Church" in recent years, preferring the full official name.
