The Aaronic Order is a Latter Day Saint church founded in 1942 by Maurice L. Glendenning. A former member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Glendenning was excommunicated by that church for publishing a set of revelations called the Levitical Writings. The Church claims to have about 2000 members throughout the United States. In 1956, the church established a communal settlement called EskDale, Utah.

The church gives its mission statement as: "To participate in and hasten the preparation of the Body of Jesus Christ for His second coming." It's vision statement is to: "Restore the Biblical, Levitical ministry to its prophesied fulness in Jesus Christ and to reconcile individuals, families, and fellowships to their places in the Body of Christ."
