Every movement is shaped by a story, and our story matters. We invite you to join a special course on Restoration History, designed to help disciples better understand the biblical convictions, spiritual courage, and historical moments that gave birth to our movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course invites you into the rich story of the American Restoration Movement\u2014also known as the Stone-Campbell Movement\u2014and its enduring theological vision. Together, we will explore the historical roots, key documents, and formative leaders who sought to restore the unity, simplicity, and vitality of the New Testament church. From the fervor of the Cane Ridge Revival to the prophetic clarity of Thomas Campbell\u2019s\u00a0Declaration and Address<\/em>\u00a0and Barton W. Stone\u2019s\u00a0Last Will and Testament of the Springfield Presbytery<\/em>, students will trace the movement\u2019s origins and the convictions that shaped it.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
