Officers


FAIR is led by a President, who is elected by a Board, and assisted by a Vice-president and Secretary. Several Editors provide submitted documents and articles with editorial review, and a bookstore is maintained to sell apologetic articles and books to the public. All of these positions are handled by volunteers. The only paid position currently associated with FAIR is the Bookstore Manager, which requires full-time management.

Mission Statement

(As presented on FAIR's web page)

FAIR is dedicated to standing as a witness of Christ and His Restored Church.


Our mission is to address the charges leveled at the doctrines, practices and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) with documented responses that are written in an easily understandable style.


FAIR will use current scholarship, scripture, Church doctrine, historical literature and sound logic in constructing faithful, well-reasoned answers.
