The Doctrine and Covenants is a sacred text recognized by The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as a collection of inspired revelations, commandments, and teachings that guide the faith, governance, and spiritual direction of the church. This volume serves as an integral part of the church’s scripture, alongside the Holy Bible (King James Version) and the Book of Mormon.
The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints traces its origins to the Restoration movement initiated by Joseph Smith Jr. in the early 19th century. The Restoration was founded on the belief in the need to reestablish the church as it existed in the time of Jesus Christ, complete with prophetic leadership and continuing revelation. The Remnant Church emerged as a distinct body in 2000, under the leadership of Frederick Niels Larsen, a descendant of Joseph Smith Jr. The formation of the church was motivated by a desire to preserve the foundational principles and practices of the Restoration as understood by its adherents.
Headquartered in Independence, Missouri, the Remnant Church emphasizes the centrality of Jesus Christ, the importance of living according to divine principles, and the role of continuing revelation in addressing the needs of modern times. It views itself as the faithful continuation of the original Restoration movement, upholding the core doctrines and practices established during the early years of the Restoration.
The Doctrine and Covenants of the Remnant Church includes revelations received by Joseph Smith Jr., as well as additional revelations provided to contemporary leaders of the church. These texts cover a wide range of topics, including church governance, spiritual practices, and moral teachings. They serve not only as a record of God’s communication with humanity but also as a living document that evolves to meet the spiritual and temporal needs of the church and its members.
Through the Doctrine and Covenants, the Remnant Church maintains its commitment to being a prophetic, revelatory church dedicated to building the Kingdom of God on Earth.
