It carries the name of Him who stands as its head, even the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. It is governed and moves by the power of the priesthood.

Elder Bednar Learns of Church growth in South Africa


Stakes and districts of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can be found in various locations around the world. The function of a district is similar to that of a stake and is organized when there are not enough members to organize a stake. The relationship of a district to a stake is analogous to the relationship between a ward and a branch. Once the membership in a district achieves sufficient numbers, it may be reorganized as a stake.

President Gordon B. Hinckley testified:

This Church is true. It will weather every storm that beats against it. It will outlast every critic who rises to mock it. It was established by God our Eternal Father for the blessing of His sons and daughters of all generations. It carries the name of Him who stands as its head, even the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. It is governed and moves by the power of the priesthood. It sends forth to the world another witness of the divinity of the Lord. Be faithful, my friends. Be true. Be loyal to the great things of God which have been revealed in this dispensation" ("Keep the Faith," Ensign, September. 1985, 6).
