Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that Joseph Smith founded their church under the direction of Jesus Christ. After Joseph Smith was murdered, the bulk of his followers moved west to what is now Utah under the direction of Brigham Young. Brigham Young was officially ordained as Joseph's successor as President of the Church in December 1847.
