Today The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has nearly 17 million members in over 160 nations worldwide. Currently, 176 of its beautiful temples adorn sites in North, South, and Central America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and numerous islands of the sea. As of 13 February 2023, there are currently 176 dedicated temples, 56 temples under construction, and 68 temples that have been announced (not yet under construction) for a total of 300 Temples. Of the 300 total temples, 118 have been announced by President Russell M. Nelson during his five years as Church president. The following temples are currently undergoing renovations: Salt Lake Temple, St. George Utah Temple, Manti Utah Temple, and the Columbus Ohio Temple.

The relief and humanitarian efforts of the Church have helped bless the lives of millions around the world, regardless of faith, as it follows the example of its Living Head, Jesus Christ. Sadly, The Church of Jesus Christ is still greatly misunderstood, and many myths and falsehoods still exist. We hope that this site will provide information to those who visit hoping to gain knowledge about Latter-day Saints (nicknamed "Mormons"), either on a given topic in Mormonism or simply about Latter-day Saints in general. Articles cover topics about such things as basic Latter-day Saint beliefs, Church doctrine, Church history and leadership, temple work, family life, Latter-day Saint literature, controversial topics, and Church organizations and humanitarian efforts.

"Fundamental Premises of Our Faith" given by President Dallin H. Oaks, First Counselor in the First Presidency at Harvard Law School.
