kind of irrelevent, but Jehovah is actually a mistranslation/combination of two Hebrew names - Elohah (the singular(?) form of Elohim) and the tetragrammaton JHVH, which shall not be pronounced (if you are Jewish). they took the vowels of Elohah (eoa) and stuck them into the tetragrammaton... thus we have Jehovah! yes... somewhat off topic...

Yes. God the Father = Elohim. Jesus we believe existied with Elohim. We believe that all things were created spiritually before they were created physically. Jesus was the first Child of God that was created spiritually or we would say "first born spirit child of God" We believe that we were also created spiritually before we were created on this earth with a physically body and that we too lived with Elohim. When Elohim had Jesus/Jehovah create our earth he became the God of this earth and was known unto the prophets as Jehova. Jehovah told the prophets of old that he was they only God of this world or(earth) that ever existed. Jehovoh or Jesus Christ created the earth as the N.T. explains. Jehovah is the Word that was with God in the begining (John chapter 1). Jehovah was God of this earth who spoke with the prophets of old. Elohim created all things on this earth by Jesus Christ (Jehovah). Jehova was then born into the world and named Jesus. (God With Us)
Mormons worship God the Father (Elohim) by following His son Jesus who became Christ our Savior and who was also Jehovah of the Old Testiment. He was born into the world with a human body to shows us the way and also to be our Savior. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can return to our Father in Heaven (Elohim) We Worship God (Elohim) through His son. Jesus is our Lord because we try to follow Him in all things. He said if we follow Him we would also recieve the Father. Mormons believe that each of us are spiritual sons and daughters of God. That God had a plan for us to come to an earth created by his Son. That his son would be the God of this earth (Jehova) as well as Jesus the Savior when he was born into the world. Mormons believe that we are trying to return unto Elohim who is the father of our spirits. Jesus Christ or Jehova can also be our Father in that it is through Him that we are reborn in the spirit (Born Again as many would say) We are then born into the family of Abrahm and become the Sons and daughters of God. But as the good scriptures say over and over again, Jehova or Jesus Christ has a Father (Elohim) to whom He cried out on the cross to whom He followed every command. He taught us to follow His father. This is what we teach and what we try to do.
Love to all

We teach that Jesus Christ is the God of Israel and God the Father's Beloved Son and that he was slain for the sins of the world (see 3 Nephi 11:7, 10-14). The Father and the Son are two separate personages (Joseph Smith - History 1:17).

The Mormon church teaches that Jesus Christ is Jehovah, which makes him the Most High God. He is the God of Israel, our God and our fathers' God. The entire house of Israel knows it and proclaims him the King of kings:
"Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee." [Hos8:2]
No Mormon should ever be in doubt as to the fact that Jesus is the Everlasting God.
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." [Mic5:2]
Jesus is the Father of Israel. He is the Alpha and Omega, even the Great I Am. [D&C 29:1]
As for the other members of the Godhead, we have very little information on them from the scriptures. We know that there are at least three members of the Godhead: Jehovah (the Lord Jesus Christ), the Lord's father, and the Holy Spirit. It is true that some Mormons refer to the Lord's father as Elohim, but they are in error if they think this changes the nature of the Godhead.
Jesus Christ is our God and our Savior. The scriptures testify of him. Look to the Lord for your salvation, for there is none other name provided whereby we can be saved.
"Hearken ye to these words. Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Treasure these things up in your hearts, and let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds." [D&C 43:34]

According to the Bible, Jehovah is Elohim. Elohim is Hebrew for God. There are many elohims, but Jehovah is the only true God. Dagon is an elohim as well as Baal, Tammuz, Ashtoreth, and many others.
(Psalm 100:3) Know that Jehovah is God. It is he that has made us, and not we ourselves. [We are] his people and the sheep of his pasturage.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.
(Jeremiah 10:10) But Jehovah is in truth God. He is the living God and the King to time indefinite. Because of his indignation the earth will rock, and no nations will hold up under his denunciation.
(Hosea 13:4) “But I am Jehovah your God from the land of Egypt, and there was no God except me that you used to know; and there was no savior but I.
(1 Samuel 2:2) There is no one holy like Jehovah, for there is no one but you; And there is no rock like our God.
(Psalm 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
(Exodus 6:3) And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.
(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
(Luke 20:42) For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand
(Acts 2:34) Actually David did not ascend to the heavens, but he himself says, ‘Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand,
