History and Affiliation: SOLID Christian Church is an independent Christian Church planted in Holton, Kansas in January of 2020.  The church is rooted in the American Restoration Movement of the early 1800’s and connected to the Christian Church and Churches of Christ movement.  As Thomas Campbell stated in the Declaration and Address, “The Bible alone is our guidance for matters of doctrine, structure and practice.  Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the scriptures are silent, we are silent.” Our church focuses on the unity of believers through faith in Jesus Christ and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
