The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is the largest group in the Mormon movement. It was started in 1830 in New York by Joseph Smith. They believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet who restored the church Jesus Christ set up on earth when he was alive. They also believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three seperate individuals but all have the same mission. LDS scriptures include the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrines and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. Members of the church are known for being active in missionary work. They also believe in the importance of families. The church's headquarters today are in Salt Lake City, Utah.
