“What We Believe

We are all spiritual children of a loving Heavenly Father who sent us to this earth to learn and grow in a mortal state. As Mormons, we are followers of Jesus Christ. We live our lives to serve Him and teach of His eternal plan for each of us.

Translated by the Power of God

God can give people special help when they need it for a righteous cause. He gave Joseph Smith the ability to translate an unfamiliar language in order to bring the Book of Mormon to each of us.

When Joseph Smith was 21 years old, an angel named Moroni gave him the gold plates. Joseph had little formal education and was unfamiliar with the ancient language written on the plates, but he was able to translate it because God gave him the power to do so. The translation took less than three months, and in 1830, 5,000 copies of the Book of Mormon were published in Palmyra, New York. God chose Joseph as a prophet, seer, revelator and translator to restore the Church of Jesus Christ in modern time, and the Book of Mormon was essential to this restoration. Joseph Smith was an ordinary man with an extraordinary calling, and because he kept himself worthy of the blessings of heaven, he was able to bring the Book of Mormon to the world.”
