The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons) is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. From the New York City to London, the church is everywhere. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is led by a prophet, along with twelve other apostles, who lead and guide their members down the path of righteousness.
