Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are sometimes called Mormons because in addition to the Bible, we believe in additional scripture. One book of scripture is called the Book of Mormon.he church calls itself The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and has never called itself or asked to be called Mormonism.. This was nickname given us by people of other faiths who identified us simply by our use of the Book of Mormon.
Most areas of the Church are divided into stakes, which usually consist of five to twelve congregations called wards or branches. The term stake was used by the prophet Isaiah. He described the latter-day Church as a tent that would be secured by stakes (see Isaiah 33:20; 54:2). A stake is led by a stake president and two counselors. The stake president is the presiding high priest in a stake. These leaders oversee the spiritual and temporal welfare of Church members. The stake presidency calls 12 high priests to form the stake high council.
