Campbellite Movement

The Campbell Movement, also known as the Restoration Movement, was a Christian movement in the 19th century aimed at uniting various Christian groups by restoring the original teachings of the Bible. Led by leaders like Thomas and Alexander Campbell, it emphasized biblical authority, baptism by immersion, and congregational independence. The movement sought to eliminate denominational divisions and promote Christian unity based on what they believed was the true, early church model. Today, many Churches of Christ and Christian Churches trace their roots to this movement, whichFocuses on returning to scripture as the sole guide for faith and practice.
