The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized in 1830 in Fayette New York. Its unique message was that the original gospel of Jesus Christ had been restored through a modern prophet, Joseph Smith. The Church became known as the Mormon Church because of its belief in the Book of Mormon.
In June of 1832, six Latter-day Saint missionaries entered Upper Canada preaching in Ernestown Township. The group of missionaries included Phineas and Joseph Young, Eleazer Miller, Elial Strong and Enos Curtis. During their six weeks of preaching they converted several families and formed in Ernesttown, the first branch of the Church outside the United States.
