Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ always has been and always will be the leader of the Church. They believe that Jesus leads the Church by revealing His will to leaders and individuals. The man who receives revelation for the entire Church is called the Prophet. The first prophet in this dispensation was Joseph Smith, Jr. The current prophet (April 2010) is Thomas S. Monson. Other prophets were called in other dispensations, such as those found in The Bible. These prophets - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, etc - are considered previous prophets of the same church - the Church of Jesus Christ. Within the Church, local leaders may receive revelation from God for their own congregations, parents receive revelation from God for their families, and individuals receive revelation from God for themselves.
