The LDS Creation Model
Gods
are created through heavenly procreation
-
“…
our Heavenly Father called a Grand Council to present his plan
for our progression... We learned that if we followed his plan,
we would become like him. We would have a resurrected body; we
would have all power in heaven and on earth; we would become
heavenly parents and have spirit children just as he does (see
D&C 132:19-20).” Gospel Principles, Chapter 2, “Our
Heavenly Family”

The LDS church teaches that
when people follow God's plan, they can progress to become gods. Once
Gods, they can become heavenly parents and produce spirit children.1 Likewise,
these spirit children can progress to godhead in a virtually endless
process.

"Our Heavenly Father
Presented a Plan for Us to Become like Him
Since we could not progress further in heaven, our Heavenly Father called
a Grand Council to present his plan for our progression (see Teachings of
the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 348, 349, 365). We learned that if we
followed his plan, we would become like him. We would have a resurrected
body; we would have all power in heaven and on earth; we would become
heavenly parents and have spirit children just as he does (see D&C
132:19-20)." Gospel Principles, 1997. Chapter
2 “OUR HEAVENLY FAMILY”
