Community of Christ affirms divine judgment and accountability but has moved away from the detailed LDS afterlife cosmology (three degrees of glory, outer darkness for sons of perdition). The denomination's progressive theology is generally more open to universalist perspectives, and eternal conscious punishment in hell is not emphasized in contemporary teaching.

The church's theological diversity means that views on hell vary across the denomination. The emphasis falls on God's love, justice, and the call to participate in God's mission rather than on detailed eschatological judgment scenarios.
