 Jesus Christ stands at the head of the church and leads the church through revelation given to the President of the Church, the First Presidency, and Twelve Apostles, all of whom are recognized as prophets, seers, and revelators and have lifetime tenure.Below these men in the hierarchy are quorums of seventy, which are assigned geographically over the areas of the church.Locally, the church is divided into stakes; each stake has a president, who is assisted by two counselors and a high council.
