Living prophets and apostles
God has called prophets to lead His Church in our day, just as He did anciently. The current prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Gordon B. Hinckley. He is assisted by two counselors—Thomas S. Monson and James E. Faust. Together, they make up the First Presidency of the Church (much like Peter, James, and John after Christ’s death).All members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are apostles and prophets. The current Apostles are: - Boyd K. Packer
- L. Tom Perry
- Russell M. Nelson
- Dallin H. Oaks
- M. Russell Ballard
- Joseph B. Wirthlin
- Richard G. Scott
- Robert D. Hales
- Jeffrey R. Holland
- Henry B. Eyring
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf
- David A. Bednar
