Our Story

How it all started...

The Catlin Church of Christ traces its roots to the Stone-Campbell Movement of early nineteenth-century America. Named after its principal leaders, Barton W. Stone and Alexander Campbell, this movement sought to unite all Christians on the clear teachings of Scripture for the sake of spreading the gospel message. Congregations that aligned themselves with these principles simply chose to call themselves "Christian Churches" or "Churches of Christ" in reverence to Christ as Lord.
