Message from President Casey Paul Griffiths

Many of us are familiar with the more well-known historic sites of the Restoration in places like Palmyra, Kirtland, Independence, and Nauvoo. We invite you to leave to venture off with us into less-known territory as we explore the history of Restoration movements in Texas. The fascinating story of these movements in Texas encompass the earlier years and the bright future of Restoration history.
