Introducing Mormon FAQ

Welcome to MormonFAQ

This site was created to answer your questions about the Mormon Church, properly called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Although there are nearly 14,000,000 Latter-day Saints around the world, and although it is the fourth largest church in the United States, many people still know very little about the Church and its doctrines.  Many misperceptions persist, sometimes because people simply need to be informed, and sometimes because detractors purposely defame the Church.  This site is comprised of responses to both.  However, it is not meant to be a forum for debate or name-calling.  We welcome your sincere questions and comments and will use them to expand the site.

Notice that there are tabs at the top of the page.  The “About” tab contains articles that will give you a basic introduction to Mormonism.  You’ll find articles with titles such as “About Temples,” and “About Mormon History.”  The “50 Answers” tab contains short answers to challenges from contending ministries.  The “FAQs” tab contains questions we’ve received on this and other sites and articles that answer each one.  The “Mormon Glossary” tab contains a dictionary of terms commonly used in the Church.  Sometimes a discussion of religion is hampered because different vocabulary is used in different faiths.

We hope this website will be helpful to you in understanding a little about Mormonism and Mormons.
