The Evangelical Christian Church Inc., also known as the Christian Disciples, is one of a number of non-denominational churches that trace their origins back to June 28, 1804 and the work of Barton Warren Stone in Bourbon County, Kentucky.[1] The movement begun by Stone, a former Presbyterian minister, 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. The church was reorganized again in 2001. A number of early congregationos of The Evangelical Christian Churches invited black ministers to preach in their pulpits, and 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.

In the face of changes made by other of the churches of the American Restoration Movement, The Evangelical Christian Church determined to remain true to the basic teachings of Stone in restoring the organization and practices of the church to the New Testament pattern. Christian unity and freedom reflected the beliefs of the Christian Disciples and Barton Stone during the Second Great Awakening. [1]
