I am a Mormon because the teachings of this church help me to be a better husband and father.

Personal Stories

How has attending Church services helped you?

Attending church reminds me of the promises that I made when I was baptized namely, that I will remember Jesus Christ and follow His example. The everyday grind of life has a way of pulling me away from God. Attending church with others who are also striving to follow God strengthens my faith and encourages me to keep going.

How I live my faith

I am the bishop -- sort of like a pastor or leader -- of a congregation. I look after the welfare of the members in a specific geographic area.

They are peaceful, pure places, where only those who have committed to live the most discipled lives can go to ponder and pray. They are places where we learn about God's plan for all of humanity, and where we promise to do all in our power to help all of His children, and receive promises that we can be with Him as well. We wear white clothing that is simple, and remove our watches and bling, to demonstrate a willingness to let go of our day-to-day concerns to focus on the real things: people, and their worth to God.

Why do some call Mormonism a cult?

Stephen Call answered...

In my opinion the real reason people say the Mormon Church is a cult because they don't understand. saying that it is a cult is an easy way to excuse themselves from learn more about it. Its like saying "sushi is slimy raw dead fish" or "computers are of the devil" its easy not to try / learn about stuff if you pair it with a negative word like "devil" or " slimy raw dead fish"
