Investing in the Church

I have recently began testing my luck in the stock market... and I have been curiously watching the stock ticker for Zion's Bank. I heard somewhere that a few of the Hinckley sons run the institution, but I don't know if the church has a vested interest in the company. Seems like a good investement if an enterprise such as the LDS Church was backing it.
Can someone here tell me what the Church's involvement is with Zion's Bancorp, or if the Church is involved with any other publicly traded company?

The LDS Church has a long association with companies, both publicly traded and privately held, including Zion's Bancorp.
