Mormonism is more accurately described as a religious movement, as there are several different denominations, sects, and churches which would claim to be "Mormon" or part of the Mormonism movement. These churches all claim to be the proper continuation or authorized reorganization of the church established by Joseph Smith in 1830.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or LDS) is commonly called the "Mormon church" and is what most people think of when they hear the word Mormon. The LDS church is considered a denomination, as it is an organization of about 30,000 congregations worldwide. The LDS church is the largest denomination in the Mormonism movement.
