^ While not considered a predecessor to the Church of Christ (Temple Lot), in the 1850s, many of the followers of Gladden Bishop, also known as Gladdenites, abandoned him and joined the movement that would later become the Church of Christ (Temple Lot).

^ While not considered a schism of the Church of Christ (Fettingite) and its founder Otto Fetting, the Church of Christ at Halley's Bluff accepted Fetting's revelations, but it did not immediately break with the Fettingites in 1929. Nerren and Long instead formed a separate sect in 1932, which was later joined by five other former Temple Lot congregations by 1941.

^ While this sect broke from Church of Christ at Halley's Bluff Name, few Latter Day Saint beliefs or practices remain and it is now considered a Christian Identity church, as opposed to a Latter Day Saint sect.
