First Presidency

First Presidency 2006

The "First Presidency" of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints refers to the Church's President, deemed a prophet, and his two main counselors. These three men work closely with the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to direct God's work on the earth. Mormons look to the First Presidency and the Apostles as members of Christ's Church did anciently. The First Presidency and the Apostles receive revelation and direction from God to guide people into His paths so that one day they may return to live with Him.
