The Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples) was founded on 1804-JUN-28, in Bourbon County, KY, by Barton Warren Stone, a former Presbyterian minister. [1] The Stone movement later merged with the efforts of Thomas Campbell (1763-1844), and his son Alexander Campbell (1788-1866), to become the Restoration Movement that gave birth to the Churches of Christ (Non-Instrumental), the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, and the Christian Church Disciples of Christ. [2] In Laura, Ohio, in 1854, an anti-slavery remnant of the Christian Disciples organized as The Evangelical Christian Church taking the message of Christ to the black community. A number of The Evangelical Christian Churches invited black ministers to preach in their pulpits. Many white ministers preached to mixed congregations. [3] Ministers and members were strong supporters of and workers in the Abolition Movement and participated in the Underground Railroad. Most of the churches of the American Restoration Movement abandoned many of the teachings of Stone and became more and more Campbellite. In 1860, The Evangelical Christian Church remained true to the basic teachings of Stone. These views reflected those of Barton Stone during the Second Great Awakening. [1]
