Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often erroneously called "Mormons") believe in life after death. In fact, they look forward to it. The doctrines of the LDS Church are more detailed regarding life after death than those of any other Christian faith, and this, because revelation to modern prophets has given us more information to add to that of the Holy Bible.

Mormons view life as an eternity of progress, and believe that all of us existed for eons before we were born on earth as mortal beings. In the Pre-Mortal Life we were beings of spirit, sons and daughters of God. God has given us His mission statement in scripture:

For this is my work and my glory — to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39).
