Church of the Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often known as the LDS Church or Mormon Church, is a Christian restorationist church that considers itself to be the restoration of the original church founded by Jesus Christ. The church is headquartered in the United States in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has established congregations and built temples worldwide. According to the church, it has over 16.5 million members and 51,000 full-time volunteer missionaries. The church is the third-largest Christian denomination in the United States, with over 6.7 million self-reported members as of January 2021.

The Church claims to stay out of politics, and avoids explicitly political statements, though a large majority of its members and elected officials from the church are Republicans.

It has $100,000,000 in assets through its investment firm, Ensign Peak Advisors. The fund reportedly includes timberland in the Florida panhandle, investments in hedge funds and stock from Apple, Chevron, Visa, JPMorgan Chase, Home Depot, Amazon, and Google. It is among the wealthiest organizations in the world.
