The
Restoration Movement (also known as the
American Restoration Movement or the
Stone-Campbell Movement, and pejoratively as
Campbellism) is a
Christian movement that began on the United States frontier during the
Second Great Awakening (1790–1840) of the early 19th century. The pioneers of this movement were seeking to reform the church from within and sought "the unification of all Christians in a single body patterned after the church of the New Testament." It has been described as the "oldest

Especially since the mid-20th century, members of these churches do not identify as
Protestant but simply as Christian.
