Alexander Campbell was a leader among many, who led the Restoration Movement. The Restoration Movement was in contrast to the Reformation. Many independent believers under the burdens of denominations saw the need to restore New Testament Christianity by joining the churches of Christ already in existence, and therefore they left the denominations rather than continue to try to reform them without success.

Alexander Campbell wrote these 32 articles entitled, “A Restoration of the Ancient Order of Things“. The Restoration Movement included a reliance upon scripture over creeds for unity, and included scriptural worship, purity of Christian words, a scriptural Christian spirit, a restoration of church government, and a restoration of Christian fellowship and unity.
