Morphology
The phrase 'Mormon Church' is a straightforward compositional compound meaning 'the church associated with Mormons'; a learner who knows 'Mormon' (a member of the LDS faith) and 'church' (a Christian body) can derive this referent. This naming pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g., 'Iglesia mormona'), so the meaning is immediately accessible to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Mormon Church gets its name from the Book of Mormon, a religious book that tells of a prophet named Mormon. People who followed that book were called 'Mormons', so their church became known as the 'Mormon Church'.
