The official name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints [Notice the difference between the LDS "Latter-day Saints" and the Strangite "Latter Day Saints"].

The Strangite church is distinct from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is larger and better-known, although the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the original church established by Joseph Smith. The Strangite church is headquartered in an area of Burlington Wisconsin known as Voree. The Strangites share the same early history with other Latter Day Saint denominations, up until the assassination of Joseph Smith Jr.

Doctrine

The church believes in seventh-day worship, sacrificial ordinances, ordains women to some offices of the priesthood, practices baptism for the dead, and believes in Eternal Marriage. Historically, some members of the church practiced plural marriage, including James Strang himself.
