The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Israel

Contact:
P.O. Box 2166 - Truman Station
Independence, MO 64055

This group was incorporated in the State of Missouri 4-22-2002.  Aaron B. McArthur of Independence, MO is currently listed as the Chairman of the corporation.  While in Independence recently, I noticed a sign for this group at 1000 24 Highway.  

I sent a letter requesting more information on 10-2-03.  On 10-17-03, I received a response from Bishop Aaron McArthur.  The letter states that his group came out of the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  According to the letter, the church has missions in 10 US cities.  Enclosed with his letter was a copy of the 1842 Epitome of Faith, which Mr. McArthur says is a summarization of their beliefs.  

Marcus Juby (formerly the Prophet of the Restoration CoJCoLDS) and R. Ben Madison (formerly the Historian for the Restoration CoJCoLDS) are listed in the letter as individuals to contact for more information.

After recent correspondence, I have obtained a history of this group written by Seventy Richard Weston.  Click here to read it.
