A Sacred and Divine Commission Renewed

Bringing the Nephite Record to the House of Joseph

The Book of Mormon

The Promise to the Lamanites

The Book of Mormon is clear, the Gentiles have been given a divine mandate to bring the fullness of the Gospel to the Lamanites, the indigenous peoples of the Americas. These people are the descendants of Lehi, a true remnant of the House of Joseph. They are heirs to a covenant that God has not forgotten: receiving the Gospel and the record of their forefathers to prepare the way for the Second Coming of Christ.

“For this very purpose are these plates preserved… that the remnant of this people might know concerning their fathers.”

Renewing the Book of Mormon’s Focus

Faithful believers are needed to fulfill the divine commission of the Book of Mormon: the restoration of the House of Joseph in the Americas (indigenous peoples) to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the original purpose of the Book of Mormon and faithful saints are still being called to meet God’s holy purposes in North, Central and South America.

Help Bring The Restored Gospel to Lehi’s Descendants

The Church of Jesus Christ, headquartered in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, remains one of the few restoration churches today that is actively fulfilling this prophecy. We have remained dedicated to the original vision preserved through Sidney Rigdon and William Bickerton.

Our brothers and sisters are currently working on publishing the Book of Mormon in several languages in print and digital formats and will be delivering the Book of Mormon to the indigenous people in North, Central, and South America to whom it rightfully belongs.
