Christ's Church, Inc.

Also known as The Peterson Group, the Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or simply The Branch. In addition to the directory information listed on the LDS Movement Wiki, I have come across some additional information about this group:

In addition to their http://www.celestial-orb.com/ website, there is also a http://www.celestial-orb.org website they operate.

Although I'm not 100% positive, it appears that http://gcje.com/ may be a business website run by Christ's Church (it is confirmed that Christ's Church runs http://gcje.net. The gcje.com website is a work from home company, and there is a link to it at the bottom of the gcje.net website (look on homepage at the very bottom).

One of the emails I have for Christ's Church is gcj@gcje.net, while the email for the http://gcje.com/ is listed as gcj@gcje.com at the site's wiki (http://www.aboutus.org/Gcje.com). Coincidence? The phone number listed for GCJ Enterprises is 435-439-5274.

Also, the bearded man on the top of http://gcje.com/ bears a striking resemblance to the man I believe is Gerald Peterson (the group's leader) shown here - http://www.color-country.net/~shepherd/shepghost2.jpg. One of the archived pages for gcje.com that I looked at on the Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org/web/20060203091725/http://gcje.com/), has the words "Our Founder" next to the picture, though those words are now removed.

Also the gcje.com/ website's copyright belongs to a G.C. Jones, who is referred to on http://www.color-country.net/~shepherd/ (another confirmed Christ's Church website) under the heading "Scenes of Southern Utah" (toward the middle of the page)

Hopefully all of that makes sense! The wiki entry for Christ's Church has been updated with all of this information.

Sorry, but there is a lot of mis-information, and assumptions on this Blog. The photos are not of Gerald Peterson but of GC Jones, but if you have ought against Gerald Peterson, I will gladly take the bruises. The references that gcje.com is a Christ's Church Business is erroneous,though I try to be consecrated to the Lord. None of the domains listed belong to Christ's Church. They are all personal web sites of GC Jones, who is personally responsible for what is published, and truthful to the best of my knowledge. Though I am still a member of Christ's Church. I believe in personal revelation. I believe that Christ Jesus and Joseph Smith Jr. are still the head of Christ's Church. I believe as did Brigham Young, that Joseph Smith Jr. is the one Mighty and Strong, spoken of in D&C. He has returned with light for a covering to set in order the house of God on earth, along with Father Michael, and His Son Christ Jesus. We are all out of order, and striving to set our lives in order, to prepare for the Great Second Coming.
