*A church restored in New York state on 6 April 1830 by Joseph Smith. The Latter-day Saints believe that after Christ’s apostles died, the world fell into a great period of apostasy. Then in the spring of 1820, when Joseph Smith prayed to know which church he should join, God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, revealed to him that none of the churches on the earth had the complete truth. The fulness of the gospel was now to be restored. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints accepts the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly and also accepts the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price as scripture. Early Latter-day Saint settlements were established in Kirtland, Ohio; central western Missouri; and Nauvoo, Illinois. Beginning in 1847 the Church migrated to and began settling the Intermountain West. By 1900 the Church had settlements in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, California, Mexico, and Alberta, Canada. The Church now has members worldwide. | *A church restored in New York state on 6 April 1830 by Joseph Smith.
