Latter Day Church of Christ Membership
J. Ortell Kingston was the son of Charles W. Kingston, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who was previously excommunicated from the LDS Church on March 4, 1929. Ortell joined his brother's (Elden Kingston) Church shortly after its establishment. When Elden Kingston died unexpectedly in 1947, leadership of the Kingston Clan formally passed from Elden to his Brothers Ortell and Merlin Kingston, but Ortell made most of the day-to-day decisions and he was eventually recognized as the leader of the group.
In 1977, Ortell formally organized the Latter Day Church of Christ, the church of the Kingston Clan.
