Best Answer

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ found in the New Testament and look to him as the example that they should follow.

They also believe that their church leaders were called by God to receive His will for the church, while they receive His will for themselves. Church leaders include the Prophet, Twelve Apostles, and local leaders, such as Bishops.

This does not stop Church members from having other examples and heroes that they look up to, such as historical, political, entertainment or sports figures.
