Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

"See RLDS (disambiguation)"

The Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a sect of the Latter Day Saint movement headquartered in Independence, Missouri. The church was formally organized on April 6, 1991 from members of the Community of Christ who had grown disaffected with that church's late-20th century reforms.

The early history of the church was heavily influenced by M. Norman Page, a Seventy in the Community of Christ who claimed to receive two revelations calling for a reorganization of the church. In 1993, Marcus Juby was named as the first president of the church, a position which he held until his resignation in 2001. Mark Evans was chosen as president shortly after Juby's resignation.

The church currently has branches in Independence, Missouri; Atlanta, Georgia; Boise, Idaho; Wichita, Kansas; Richmond, Missouri; Charleston, South Carolina; La Porte, Texas; and River Oaks, Texas.
