The Church of Jesus Christ Restored 1830 is a small sect in the Latter Day Saint movement that is headquartered in Tarkio, Missouri. The church broke away from the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the year 2000 under the leadership of five members of the First Quorum of Restoration Seventies.
The church believes that there are three presidential quorums the decisions of which have equal authority when quorum decisions are unanimous.
The Church of Jesus Christ Restored 1830 claims to be the rightful successor to the Church of Christ established by Joseph Smith, Jr. on April 6, 1830. It teaches that anyone can receive revelations for that area of stewardship that they are responsible for. It believes that The President of the High Priesthood is chosen by the body and is given the gifts and talents that belong to that office and calling. It accepts those revelations that were given of God to Joseph Smith Jr., who is considered a prophet of God and the first president of the High Priesthood.
The church registered its name with the state of Missouri on October 6, 2000. It has members in numerous states of the United States and in Canada, Australia, Nigeria, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire.
Famous quotes containing the words church, christ and/or restored:
“Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be, in everything, to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her...”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 5:21-25.
“Scepticism is true; for after all, men before Jesus Christ did not know where they were, nor whether they were great or small. And those who have said the one or the other, knew nothing about it, and guessed without reason and by chance. They also erred always in excluding the one or the other.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“The vast results obtained by Science are won by no mystical faculties, by no mental processes other than those which are practiced by every one of us, in the humblest and meanest affairs of life. A detective policeman discovers a burglar from the marks made by his shoe, by a mental process identical with that by which Cuvier restored the extinct animals of Montmartre from fragments of their bones.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
