corporation of the church

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in many instances operates more like a corporation than a church. Some are surprised to find that in fact the church is a corporation. Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints operates as a tax-exempt church affiliated corporation, validly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Utah. The Company assists the Mormon Church transfer capital by acquiring, holding, and disposing of real estate properties. The corporate structure and culture of the church is unsettling to some, who don't see a bureaucratic necessity in a church of God.
