The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter - Day Saints (LDS) was founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith in New York, USA. Its church members are mostly known as Mormons.

The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has established congregations and built temples worldwide. According to the church, it has over 67,000 missionaries and a membership of over 16 million.
