There is no connection between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) and Melaleuca, aside from the fact that the current owner of Melaleuca, Frank Vandersloot, joined the Church at age 17. The Church itself has nothing to do with the company whatsoever.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) was originally known as the "Church of Christ" or the "Church of Jesus Christ" in the first couple years of it's existence.

This name change took place in 1838. The modern church/denomination called the Church of Christ is of no relation to the modern church/denomination called the "Mormons" or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Catholic Church believes the pope is the vicar of Christ on earth.

The key differences between the Presbyterian and Church of Christ denominations lie in their beliefs about church governance and the role of tradition. Presbyterians have a hierarchical system of governance with ordained ministers and elders, while Church of Christ emphasizes congregational autonomy and the priesthood of all believers. Additionally, Presbyterians adhere to a more traditional liturgical worship style, while Church of Christ typically practices a simpler, acapella worship style.
