We believe Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.  After His death and resurrection, His Church fell into apostasy.  In 1820, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father appeared to Joseph Smith and began the restoration of the Gospel to the earth.

Each of our ancestors “framed” below, is the first generation convert in their respective family.  Click on their photo to read about their conversion to the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.
