Mt. Healthy Christian Church

Since 1839, Mt. Healthy Christian Church, established as the Church of Christ at Mt. Pleasant, has served as a model for global ministry and missions for Disciples of Christ churches emerging from the actions of the Restoration (Stone-Campbell) Movement. Founding pastor David S. Burnet established the church at Mt. Pleasant with the collaboration of Restoration Movement leaders, including evangelist Walter Scott. In 1848 in Cincinnati, Elder Burnet established the Christian Bible and Missionary Societies with Scott and others to nationally organize and unify the followers of the Restoration Movement. The church founded by Burnet in Mt. Pleasant has had continual significant leadership, including the Reverend Archibald McLean, leader of the movement’s reorganized Foreign Christian Missionary Society.
