The Stone-Campbell Movement

The Stone-Campbell Movement, also known as the Restoration Movement, is a Christian movement from the early 19th century that aimed to reunite different Christian groups by reverting to the teachings and practices of the Bible. It emphasized sola scriptura (scripture alone), baptism by immersion, and unity among Christians. Key figures include Barton W. Stone and Alexander Campbell. The movement led to the formation of various churches, such as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Churches of Christ, advocating for a simple, biblically-centered faith without denominational creeds.
