The Smithic Church (Deseretan: ๐๐‘‹๐ฎ๐‘ƒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐—๐ณ๐‘‰)is a Nontrinitarian Christian Abro-united church based in the theocratic state Deseret. The church reports 30 million members worldwide, with the highest concentration in Deseret. It was originally founded by Gregor John Smith in the mid 18th century in the Second Nephite Empire, and has spread to over 40 countries.

History

The history of the Smithic faith is generally divided into four distinct periods: (1) its early history under Gregor John Smith and his direct successors; (2) the period of unrest preceding the Great Smithic War; (3) the Great Smithic War and its aftermath; and (4) the modern period of the Smithic state under Deseret.
