Church of Christ (Mormonism)

In Mormonism, the Church of Christ is the name of the original Christian church thought to have been established by Jesus Christ in the 1st century. It was the first name of the original Latter Day Saint church established in 1830 by Joseph Smith, Jr.

The church was referred to by a few other names during Smith's life. The church was also called the "Church of Jesus Christ", the "Church of the Latter Day Saints", and later settled as the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" to fully reflect the church's identity to distinguish it from Jesus Christ's ancient church.
