The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) identifies itself as a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world.
On the American frontier in the early 19th century, two movements were born to restore unity to the church of Jesus Christ by returning to the faith and practice of the New Testament and by discarding the use of human creeds as test of fellowship.
Led by Thomas and Alexander Campbell in Pennsylvania and by Barton W. Stone in Kentucky, these two movements merged into a Restoration Movement that became the foundation for what would eventually become the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
