Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Fundamentalist Mormon temple in Modena, Utah, United States.
The Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints operates a pyramid-shaped temple near Modena, serving a congregation of 200 members.
Gerald Wilbur Peterson Sr founded this religious group in 1978 following divine instruction he claimed to receive from the late Rulon C Allred.
Members of the Righteous Branch maintain traditional Mormon practices including plural marriage and proxy baptisms for deceased individuals in their temple ceremonies.
The religious community maintains two primary facilities: the pyramid temple in Modena, Utah and a multipurpose building in Tonopah, Nevada for services.
The temple stands as one of only seven structures built by Latter Day Saint denominations, featuring a distinctive pyramid architecture that sets it apart.
