"By this, all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." - John 13:35

The Churches of Christ as we know them today are a closely affiliated group
of autonomous churches borne out of a common movement. This movement
began around the turn of the 19th century in several eastern US states. Men
of various denominations (Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, etc.) were tired of
their divisive labels and desired unity with all Christians. Many church leaders
desired to give up their denominational titles and join hands with one another
in the name of Christian love and unity. A movement began with then-popular
church leaders such as Alexander Campbell and Barton Stone forsaking their
previous titles in deference to the simple name "Christian."
Our movement, which began in unity, sadly became divided around the turn of
the 20th century. Today, we exist in three groups: the Christian Churches, the
Disciples of Christ, and the Churches of Christ. At Northcrest, we can only
speak for ourselves. It is our frank desire that all of God's people would be
one again, and this can only be achieved through the Spirit of love and
selflessness in Jesus Christ.
