The Campbell Movement refers to a religious reform movement in the early 19th century, primarily led by figures like Thomas Campbell and his son Alexander Campbell. It aimed to restore the original Christian church by promoting unity among different denominations and emphasizing the authority of the Bible. The movement sought to eliminate creeds and human traditions, advocating for a return to the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. This movement laid the groundwork for the formation of the Restoration Movement, which eventually led to the establishment of various groups, including the Disciples of Christ and the Churches of Christ. The Campbells emphasized baptism by immersion and the importance of communal worship, significantly influencing American Christianity.
