Not exactly, in June of 1840, President Snow declared, "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become." Many have interpreted this couplet to mean that God used be exactly like man and that men will one day be exactly like God. This is inconsistent with other Church teachings. The couplet simply states that God used be as man is, but it does not specify in what ways God used to be like man. Jesus used to be a man, but as the Son of God, he was never exactly like a mortal man, so its too much to say that God the Father was exactly like a man when the prophet taught that God was once as a man is.
Still, this differs significantly from traditional Christianity which teaches that God has always been God.

Mormons have no particular notion of where God came from; however, unlike traditional Christians, Mormons do not believe that God has always been God.

Just as Christ grew and progressed during his lifetime on earth, the Father also passed through some manner of progression which lead Him to what He is today.
