 Restoration Movement: College Street Church of Christ
While the Restoration Movement, as it came to be known, is part of the history and heritage of the churches of Christ in America, it is essential to understand that we claim no loyalty or allegiance to any human religious leaders, nor do we look to their words to guide us in matters of doctrine.
Rather, the whole restoration movement is designed to simply reproduce in contemporary times the church as originally established on Pentecost in the year 33 A.D. Our only allegiance is to Jesus Christ, the "author and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2), and our only doctrine is the New Testament.
Members of churches of Christ do not conceive of themselves as a new church that started near the beginning of the nineteenth century.

 The REVEAL Library: From the CofC to the Boston Movement
The Movement's belief that the mainline Churches were spiritually dead (to the point of costing them their salvation), were not evangelizing the world, and were mired in tradition instead of being rooted in scripture led the Boston Movement to in turn consider the mainline Churches a separate fellowship.
The discipling movement led by Kip McKean is commonly known as the Boston Church of Christ.
A representative from each of the three main branches of the Restoration Movement (the Churches of Christ, the Disciples of Christ, and the Independent Christian Churches) was asked to come speak at the lecture on the contribution of each religious body to the church universal.

 What is the Restoration movement??
The Restoration movement bases the claim that apostles and prophets are to be a part of the church on Ephesians 4:11-12.
It should be noted that the current teaching of the restoration of prophet and the office of apostle is far from what Scripture describes of the men who held the gift of prophet and the office of apostle.
Those who teach Restorationism teach that the men who claim to be apostles and prophets should never be spoken against, should never be questioned, because the person who speaks against them is speaking against God.

Basic to “Restoration” theology is the call to return to “New Testament Christianity,” the beliefs and practices of the first century Christian church as documented in the New Testament.
The Restoration movement did not set out to become a denomination; but the historical fact is that it is now a full-fledged denomination along with a number of splinter movements which are denominations in reality if not in name.
All three branches include churches which call themselves “the Church of Christ” or “the Christian Church.” There are non-instrumental and instrumental churches in both the Churches of Christ (hereafter “COC”) and the NACC (though the former are largely non-instrumental and the latter mostly instrumental).

 Restoration Movement
A movement to restore primitive Christianity sprung up in America in the early 1800s out of the Presbyterian church.
Although the movement now focused more on primitive doctrine and ordinances than on holy living and the inner life, it did bring spiritual renewal to thousands of people across the nation.
To this end, the members of the Campbell-Stone movement returned to the early Christian practices of weekly communion, congregational autonomy, and a plural ministry in each congregation.

 Restoration Quarterly (In Essentials Unity: The Pre-history of a Restoration Movement Slogan)
The early Restoration Movement, and Stone in particular, while capable of sharing the irenic spirit of the saying, had problems with the dictum's minimal doctrinal consensus because of its wholesale rejection of all creedal and doctrinal norms.
The Meiderlin motto takes on some significance not in the first generation of the movement but during a period of internal strife, during the gradual process of the separation between the Churches of Christ and the Disciples.
The closest one comes to non-essentials in the early Restoration Movement are what was termed opinions and speculations, none of which had any normative status in our sola scriptura religion and thus did not need to be reconciled theologically.

In the nineteenth century, however, God was ready to restore his true church.
The attempt to restore the New Testament church was limited almost entirely to these externals, as the nineteenth and twentieth century restorationists read the Bible and tried to discern the proper "pattern."
Most important of all, without a strong foundation stone of the Jesus-centered gospel of salvation by grace through faith, many people scattered throughout the movement came to view restoration itself as the means to salvation and the basis for fellowship with each other.

 Part VI - The Modern Age: Lesson No. 41 - The Restoration Movement (1)
About the time that Smith and Jones established their movement a Presbyterian preacher in Kentucky by the name of Barton W. Stone (1772-1844) began to have misgivings about the doctrines of his church.
Once this spirit of reform seized them and they tasted of the freedom, peace, and unity it brought they pressed forward in the elimination of other religious doctrines and practices which they found to be false in the light of newly-discovered principles.
Under adverse circumstances they triumphed to the extent that by 1850 (less than fifty years since the beginning of the movement) they had succeeded in winning enough people to their cause to have the fourth largest church in the United States.

 Christian Church Today - Restoration Movement or Christian church Movement
I think “Christian church movement” is and will be used by some to intentional define this movement not as a "restoration movement" but as a generic evangelical movement.
Possibly the emergence of the new-evangelicals during the 50's could be the beginning of a surge in growth, missions, church planting and leadership of the Christian Churches.
I guess you could say a unity movement in which some things that had been previously been thought were important to restore are now deemed unimportant and jettisoned for the sake of unity.

 WHY STUDY THE HISTORY OF THE RESTORATION MOVEMENT
The study of the Restoration Movement is not just a study of history in days gone by, it is the study of a heritage of faith that daringly chose to break away from the traditions of men and engage the Word of God with a wide open heart.

 Alexander Campbell (Restoration movement) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was raised as a Presbyterian, and was in fact the son of a Presbyterian minister, Thomas Campbell, who also became a leader in the Restoration Movement.
He used both to further his views on Christian unity and the restoration of the true church envisioned in the New Testament.
Alexander Campbell (September 12, 1788 – March 4, 1866) was an early leader of a movement that began in 1800 with the goal of removing divisions between Christians, by returning believers in the New Testament to principles of "Truth and Union." This movement has since been called the Restoration Movement or the Stone-Campbell Movement.

 The Restoration Movement - An Examination of Kingdom-Dominion Doctrine by Tricia Tillin
Another name for restoration teaching is "Kingdom-Now" because it teaches that the Old Testament Kingdom of God, the universal reign of peace and righteousness, is a present-day reality, rather than a future literal event.
However, it remains a useful reference work and tool for those who have never heard of "restoration" or for those who are puzzled about the origins of what their church actually teaches.
IF the prophesied Kingdom of God is present now as the Church, as Restoration teaches, then we are to expect world domination and peace before the return of Christ.

 ~ What Is Resorationism, And The Restoration Movement- By Robin A. Brace ~
The Charismatic Movement (started from around the middle of the 20th century): They believed that a second act of grace or of being "Baptized in the Holy Spirit" is necessary after conversion, and that tongues should be expected as evidence of this.
This group want all churches to experience what they consider to be the full power of the Holy Spirit, and they see a need for most evangelical churches (as well as non-evangelical churches) to experience a new reformation to bring them back to the standards evidenced within the Book of Acts.
The movement emphasizes the belief that God's miraculous working in the Gospels and Acts describes the normal Christian life which all true believers should still experience in our day.

Early in the twentieth century, the Restoration Movement split into three groups: the non-instrumental Churches of Christ, the independent the Disciples of Christ, and the independent Christian Churches.
