That depends on your definition of a cult. The technical definition of a cult is "A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object." by this definition, nearly every faith or religious group is a cult!
The Community of Christ is a relatively small group which split off from another faith (Mormonism), but they are very open about their beliefs and most of their doctrines align with mainstream Christianity. They do not live on compounds or closed societies and participate in mainstream society.

Is Mormonism a cult?
A cult is defined as a group of people who worship or follow a certain person or being. By that definition, every religion is a cult. Most of the time, people imagine a cult as a small group of people living in a secrative, closed society. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") do not do this. They live regular lives, have everyday jobs, and participate in the cities and communities where they live. All are welcome to learn more about their worship practices and attend their worship serivces. They worship Jesus Christ and follow a living prophet, but they are no more a cult than any other religion. To see a video of Church apostle Elder Russel M. Ballard explain why some view the Church as a cult, visit the "Related Links" below.

How did Jesus come to be understood as Christ Lord and Savior in the post Easter period and in the early centuries of the Church?
The Christian answer is that the disciples saw the risen Jesus and believed in him. That Jesus told the apostles he was the messiah (Christ) and commanded them to preach his gospel.Various scholars have studied the early centuries of the Church and have tried to establish what its origins really were. For example, Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament: The Making of the Christian Myth) argues that Jesus was a wandering preacher who was not crucified at all. According to Mack, Jesus built up a following that he calls "the Jesus movement". He believes a breakaway group deified Jesus, creating a new cult that he calls "the Christ cult". The Christ cult began the tradition that Christ was crucified and resurrected, in the manner of many gods of the time. Others believe that the Christ cult preceded the Jesus movement and that Jesus of Nazareth was syncretised into the movement somewhat later.
