Sites related to Joseph Smith Jr, b. 23 December 1805, d. 27 June 1844. Contrary to opinion, members of the Church do not worship Joseph Smith, nor supplant him into the role of Christ as savior. He was merely a man, but revered as a spiritual giant in his calling as the first president and prophet of the Church. He is often known by the epithets The Prophet or Brother Joseph.
