TheRestoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a denomination of theLatter Day Saint movement headquartered inIndependence, Missouri. The church was formally organized on April 6, 1991, by members of theCommunity of Christ who had grown disaffected with the church when it beganordaining women and introduced other innovations in the late-20th century.

The early history of the church was heavily influenced by M. Norman Page, aSeventy 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.

In early 2007 President Mark Evans resigned for personal reasons. His counselor in the First Presidency, Woodrow ("Woody") Howell, became acting president. Howell was elected by the April 2009 General Conference of the Restoration Church as Prophet-President of the Church, and was set apart to that office on April 11, 2009. President Howell serves with Andrew Gross as counselor in the presidency.

The ordinance of baptism is performed by immersion for those aged 8 or older. According to Restoration Revelations 24:11-12 (published in April, 1998), only the priesthood of the Restoration Church has the authority from God to perform baptisms. All baptisms in other Latter Day Saint groups, and in all other Christian churches, are invalid and have no efficacy. "When those who were baptized outside the authority of my church seek membership, they must be rebaptized by those who have authority." (RR 24:11)
