Disciples of Christ is the liberal counterpart of the Church of Christ (conservative). (Stonewall/Campbell movement).

They are in full communion with the United Church of Christ (a reformed liberal Church) and often share ministers and church buildings, not to be confused with the Church of Christ, previously mentioned.
