caption_attribution_description: English: The headquarters is situated in a somewhat secluded part of the Wasatch Range bordering Salt Lake and Utah counties. The compound consists of two large buildings with a large parking lot to the North and East. Farther East sits a large grassy field with a baseball diamond. Still farther East (and out of this picture) is a large gravel pit that is currently operational. Separating the compound from the gravel pit is double train track which is the only train access through this part of the Wasatch Front. Adjacent to the North are a few homes which appear to share the one-road access to the compound. Due West is a horse riding school.
context_page_description: The Apostolic United Brethren is a Mormon fundamentalist group that promotes polygamy. The AUB has had a temple in Mexico, since at least the 1990s, an endowment house in Utah since the early 1980s and several other locations of worship to accommodate their members in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana.
  The title "Apostolic United Brethren" is not generally used by members, who prefer to call it "The Work", "The Priesthood", or "The Group". Those outside the faith sometimes refer to it as the "Allred Group" because two of its presidents shared that surname. Members of the AUB do not refer to their organization as a "church" and, unlike nearly all other Mormon fundamentalist groups, regard The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a legitimate, if wayward and diminished, divine institution.
  Religious scholar J. Gordon Melton characterised the group as "the more liberal branch of the Fundamentalist movement", as the group allows sexual relations apart from the strict purpose of procreation.
  The group came into the Hollywood spotlight with the release of the hit reality TV series Sister Wives aired in 2010.

  The AUB furnished a detailed description of their beliefs and practices in August 2009 to the Utah Attorney General's "Polygamy Primer", which was later revised in 2011. This booklet is used to educate the law enforcement and social relief agencies involved with similar groups.
  The AUB is unrelated to other similarly named groups such as Churches of the Brethren and Apostolic Pentecostals.
