Restorationist churches

Restorationist churches are Christian groups that believe the original church established by Jesus and his apostles should be restored today. They focus on returning to what they see as the fundamental practices and teachings of early Christianity, often emphasizing biblical authority, baptism, and communal worship. These churches often reject centuries of tradition or creeds added over time, preferring to base their beliefs solely on the Bible. Examples include the Churches of Christ, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the Latter-day Saint movement. Their goal is to restore the true church as described in the New Testament, striving for purity and adherence to early Christian practices.
