The church was established ("anew", they claim) in 1929, after Otto Fetting of Port Huron, Michigan, claimed to see John the Baptist as an angel. Fetting had been a member of the Community of Christ (then known as the "Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"), but after his revelations, he established "anew" the Church of Christ in 1929. Before his death in 1833, Fetting received 30 revelations from John the Baptist. Then, on October 4, 1937, the church claims that John the Baptist began appearing to W.A. Draves of Nucla, Colorado, who appeared 90 additional times, each bringing a message. These 120 revelations were compiled, and the church publishes them as The Word of the Lord brought to Mankind By An Angel. The church also accepts the Bible and the Book of Mormon as scripture.
