First Christian Church is part of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family of churches in The American Church Story. 140 congregations of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family gather across Kansas — 9,607 across the United States on The Church Map.
The Stone-Campbell churches asked American Christians to put down their party names and be simply Christians, and they meant it enough to give up their own. Their plea for one table, and their weekly return to it, is one of the few genuinely American gifts to the church's understanding of itself.
