Our History

As we look at our history we see the church established on Pentecost was responsible for the many alterations resulting in various denominations.

 

We fast forward to the Restoration Movement which had the announced goal of using only the bible with the result being The Disciples of Christ, the Conservative Christian Church, and the Churches of Christ. There are different splinter groups within each of these three. Estimates range from 21 to over 50 as to the total number of sub-groups which have emerged from this historical movement for unity among Christians. Estimates are around 19 sub-groups within the a cappella sub-group. Some within a given sub-group will not even acknowledge others within a different sub-group as children of God---much less any who are outside their historical heritage.

 

In the first century it was all about following Jesus. Today it is all about everything but.
