Church of Jesus Christ Restored 1830, Christian denomination in Buckner, Missouri, US.
The Church of Jesus Christ Restored 1830 is a Christian community centered in Buckner, Missouri, organized through three equal governing councils called quorums. These quorums must reach unanimous agreement on major decisions and consult with one another before acting.
This community was founded in 2000 when five members separated from a related restoration movement and established this independent organization. It intentionally bases its structure on church laws from the 1800s.
Members of this church elect their High Priesthood President directly through voting, and believe each believer receives personal spiritual guidance for their responsibilities. This approach makes the community more democratically structured than many other Christian denominations.
The church has congregations across various American states and international presence in Africa, Australia, and other regions. Visitors can connect with local congregations through the Missouri headquarters or the organization's community networks.
The organization deliberately follows church governance laws from Kirtland, Ohio dating to 1835 and views this as a return to original principles. This commitment to historical rules is central to its identity and operations.
