Temple Square The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints A book about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints According to LDS Church teachings, there was a Great Apostasy, which means that all churches fell away from the true gospel and teach today false doctrines. Thus the only true church on earth needed to be restored by the Prophet Joseph Smith. His successors, who are appointed by God, lead now this one true church. This is the reason for the existence of the LDS Church.
