Mormon Beliefs and Misconceptions

Mormon Introduction

The teachings of Jesus have blessed our lives. We hope you enjoy our website!

The teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a. the “Mormons“) are often confused with those of Evangelical Christians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and even the Amish. While we respect all these religions, our beliefs are in many ways distinct from theirs. Aside from confusing us with those of other faiths, many subscribe to the misconceptions and myths about Mormon doctrine that abound on the Internet and in popular culture.

The purpose of this site is to dispel some of the many misconceptions about the Church and its members. The site should be useful both for those considering converting to Mormonism and for those who are merely curious about our basic beliefs.

This site is not affiliated with the Mormon Church, and I am no official Church spokesman. The ideas expressed in this site do not necessarily represent official Church doctrine. For official doctrine, visit mormon.org. That having been said, because one of the purposes of this site is to dispel misconceptions about the Mormon faith, I will try my very best to represent the Church’s official position accurately.

I invite collaborators! Because my time is limited, I don’t have the resources to research all the interesting Mormon facts that are out there. If you know of an interesting fact, send me an email by clicking on the link to the right! Don’t forget to include the source.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to respond to all correspondence. I will try my best to respond to all sincere questions regarding Mormon beliefs and misconceptions.
