Prior to 2000, we were known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS). Because of the length of the name and the difficulty in differentiating ourselves from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) we found the need to shrink the size of the name while keeping the essence of the meaning.

Mission Initiatives
The five Mission Initiatives are blessings to the church. They guide us directly onto paths that help us make Christ’s mission our mission. Though the initiatives carry great importance and value individually, they work best in congregations and ministries that honor all five. In this holistic fashion, they help us know, be, and do as we serve Christ.
Enduring Principles
Our Enduring Principles define the essence, heart, and soul of our faith community. They describe the personality of our church as expressed throughout the world.
