The Church of Jesus Christ (Original Doctrine) Inc. is a Mormon fundamentalist denomination in the Latter Day Saint movement, and is also known as the Blackmore Group.
[1] In 1946, Harold (aka Michael) Blackmore, a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church), bought property near Lister, British Columbia, and moved there with his family.
After Winston Blackmore became the bishop in the 1980s, the group took the name of Bountiful, British Columbia.
[4] In September 2002, Mormon fundamentalists in Bountiful divided into two groups when Winston Blackmore split with the FLDS Church.
About 700 people[1] broke away and followed Blackmore to form what would eventually be named the Church of Jesus Christ (Original Doctrine) Inc.[5] About 500 people in Bountiful[1] remained members of the FLDS Church.
