Organization
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized the same way that Christ organized His Church in New Testament times. The offices listed below are the same priesthood offices that Christ established in His Church—Apostles, Seventies, etc.
- The Church is led by a president and prophet, currently Gordon B. Hinckley.
- The President has two counselors, and these three leaders constitute the First Presidency.
- The First Presidency is assisted by Twelve Apostles, who are special witnesses of Jesus Christ to all the world.
- Leaders called Seventies assist the Twelve Apostles and serve in various locations throughout the world.
- Local congregations are led by bishops.
