Restoration Movement

The Restoration Movement is a Christian effort that began in the early 19th century to unify believers by returning to the practices and teachings of the early church described in the New Testament. Its goal is to restore Christianity to its original form, emphasizing the authority of Scripture, baptism by immersion, and communal worship without denominational divisions. The movement led to the founding of churches like the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Churches of Christ, fostering a focus on unity, biblical authority, and simple worship practices across different Christian groups.
