Mormons reject the Trinity as conceived by mainstream Christianity. They view the Godhead as three distinct beings: God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, rather than one substance in three persons. This belief stems from their interpretation of scripture and revelations they hold to be true, emphasizing individual roles and identities, which leads to the concept of a more personal and approachable deity compared to the traditional Trinitarian doctrine.
