The Mormon Church has an organized chain of leadership.  The Mormon Church is under the direction and supervision of a prophet.  We believe that all revelation and counsel is given from God to His people through a modern day prophet.  The prophet is called by God to serve and lead the church on earth.  Essentially, God acts and leads his church through the prophet. 
The prophet has two counselors and all three of them make up the First Presidency.  A group of twelve men, known as the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, assist the First Presidency.  The organization of the church’s leadership is almost identical to the organizational structure of the church when Christ was on the earth.  The quorum of the seventies assist the Twelve Apostles and also act as stake presidents, bishops, and branch presidents throughout the world. 
          On the local level, members of the church are organized into wards.  In the ward, members attend Sunday service together, serve and support each other.  The bishop leads the congregation and offers support and help to the members within the ward. 
Within the congregation of the Mormon Church, there are various groups or organizations that the members belong to.  Men belong to priesthood quorums.  Men learn how to better use their priesthood authority, how to be better husbands and fathers, and how to live more virtuous and Christ-like lives.  Women belong to Relief Society.  In Relief Society, women serve each other and learn more about their roles as mothers and women of God.  The youth of the church belong to the Young Men and Young Women organizations.  The youth participate in activities that stimulate and help them to build strong testimonies of the church.  Children are taught the basic principles of the Mormon Church in Primary.  Young children learn songs and play games to help them understand and appreciate the church at a young age.
