Welcome To The Do-It-Yourself Guide To Church HistoryHave you ever thought it would be nice to just get in your car and go explore the history of the church all by yourself? This has always been a dream of mine. Since I have done a little traveling around the country, I have sought to map out different places where people have lived and evangelized their part of the world with the good news of New Testament Christianity. My travels have taken me to old church buildings, like Cane Ridge and Mulkey Meetinghouse. Then there are graves of great preachers like Jacob Creath, Sr. and Samuel Rogers, and big graveyards like Lexington Cemetery, Lexington, Kentucky, and Mt. Olivet, Nashville, Tennessee where numerous leaders in the Restoration Movement are now buried. This page is part of a life-long desire I've had to make these places and people available to anyone who is interested in restoration history. Please print out as much of this information as you would like and go see the places for yourself. There is a rich heritage of dedication that has taken place, especially over the past 200 years, that need never be forgotten. Men and women have battled to overcome denominational creedalism to take just the Bible for their rule of faith and practice. Many have sacrificed friend and family to be true to God's Word. It has been correctly stated, "We are standing on the shoulders of giants." These great defenders of the faith must not be forgotten. For in them we connect ourselves bit by bit and piece by piece to the old rugged cross. Our efforts here have not been to worship those of the Restoration Movement. However, in the same way we don't worship the apostles, we still love and respect what they have given us, the same can be said for Barton W. Stone and Alexander Campbell. I hope you find the research and effort beneficial to your faith and work in the kingdom of God. Again, this material is NOT copy write material. Take and share as much as you will. However, if you use the material in publication, be sure to credit the original author, as I have sought to do on this site.
