Disciples of Christ, also known as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), is a denomination of Christianity that is revered for its emphasis on inclusivity, simplicity, and egalitarian leadership. Synonyms for Disciples of Christ include "Christians of the Restoration," "Stone-Campbell Movement," and "Restoration Movement." These terms reflect the denomination's roots in the early 19th century, when religious leaders Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone sought to unify the Christian Church in North America and create a movement free of sectarianism. Today, the Disciples of Christ remain committed to promoting unity, spiritual growth, and social justice in their communities and around the world.
