There are several groups that claim descent from the Branch Davidians today. The group that retains the original name "Branch Davidian Seventh Day Adventist" regards Lois Roden's immediate successor to have been Doug Mitchell (who joined the Branch Davidians in 1978 and led the group from 1986 until his death in 2013) and Mitchell's successor to be Trent Wilde (who has led the group since 2013). This group never followed David Koresh.<ref>[http://www.bdsda.com/faq/ bdsda.com FAQ]</ref>

Another group exists under the leadership of Charles Pace, called '''The Branch, The Lord Our Righteousness.''' It is a legally recognized denomination with twelve members. Pace, while regarding Koresh as appointed by God, says that Koresh twisted the Bible's teachings by fathering more than a dozen children with members' wives.<ref>{{cite news|last1=The Associated Press|title=Near Waco, a New Fight Over an Old Compound|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/15/us/15waco.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=April 15, 2007 |access-date=May 12, 2016}}</ref> Pace believes that the Lord "has anointed me and appointed me to be the leader", but he says he is "not a prophet" but "a teacher of righteousness". Others, once led by [[Clive Doyle]], continue to believe Koresh was a prophet and await his resurrection, along with the followers who were killed.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite news|last1=Burnett|first1=John|title=Two Decades Later, Some Branch Davidians Still Believe|url=https://www.npr.org/2013/04/20/178063471/two-decades-later-some-branch-davidians-still-believe|access-date=May 12, 2016|publisher=National Public Radio|date=April 20, 2013}}</ref> Both of these groups are still waiting for the [[Eschatology|end times]].<ref name="autogenerated1"/> Doyle died in June 2022.<ref>[https://wacotrib.com/news/local/history/clive-doyle-leader-of-branch-davidian-survivors-dies-at-81/article_a907d74e-ec2b-11ec-a4a6-6b434cab7925.html Clive Doyle, leader of Branch Davidian survivors, dies at 81].
