Members of the Church of Jesus Christ in Zion are followers of Mormon founder Joseph Smith, Jr, but they believe that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has strayed from Smith's teachings. The church claims that Smith restored Priesthood keys to Ken Asay, who ordained Billings to be a Prophet and the Patriarch of Zion prior to Asay's death in 1985.
The church believes in a doctrine of "multiple lives". This doctrine is similar to reincarnation; however, humans may only be reborn as other humans.
The church operates an alternative science and math educational program named the International Academy of Science. Billings runs a number of businesses, including WideBand Corporation (a high-speed networking company), Billings Energy Corporation (a hydrogen fuel-cell research company), and Acellus Labs (a system of educational software).
