| Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] | Performance Information | |||
| Performance Narrative [Text Block] | The Dividend Fund was reorganized on May 8, 2015 from a series of Unified Series Trust, an Ohio business trust (the “Predecessor Fund”), to a series of the World Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Reorganization”). While the Dividend Fund is substantially similar to the Predecessor Fund and theoretically would have invested in the same portfolio of securities, the Dividend Fund’s performance may be different than the performance of the Predecessor Fund due to, among other things, differences in fees and expenses. The bar chart below shows changes in the Dividend Fund’s annual returns for the Investor Class shares (previously the Retail Class shares) (the Class with the longest period of annual returns) from year to year. The performance of Institutional Class shares will differ due to differences in expenses. The table below shows how the Predecessor Fund’s and the Dividend Fund’s average annual returns for the periods indicated compare over time to those of a broad-based securities market index, the Morningstar® US Market IndexSM (TR), and the Morningstar® US Large-Mid Value Market IndexSM (TR), which is the Fund’s secondary index. The table also presents the impact of taxes on the Dividend Fund’s Investor Class shares. Performance for the Investor Class for periods prior to September 15, 2017 reflects the performance of the Retail shares of the Predecessor Fund and Dividend Fund. On September 15, 2017, the Retail shares of the Dividend Fund were reorganized into the Investor Class shares of the Dividend Fund. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Dividend Fund. Past performance of the Dividend Fund is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future.
