The Community of Christ is a Christian denomination that emerged from the Latter Day Saint movement in the 19th century. Founded in 1860, it emphasizes peace, reconciliation, and the pursuit of justice. The church is known for its commitment to social justice, community service, and interfaith dialogue. Members of the Community of Christ believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the importance of scripture, including the Book of Mormon and the Bible. The church is organized with a hierarchical structure, led by a president and a council of apostles, and it encourages local congregations to engage in mission work and community outreach.
