The need for a church has been taught since the time of Christ, who organized His church, called apostles, and gave them authority to guide and serve. Today, the restored Church of Jesus Christ carries forward that divine purpose—offering the fullness of His teachings and ordinances to help us draw closer to God and prepare for eternal life.
“Today, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s restored Church, established to teach the fulness of His doctrine and to officiate with His priesthood authority to perform the ordinances necessary to enter the kingdom of God.” —President Dallin H. Oaks
