Restorationism is a form of ecclesial Christianity that developed out of 19th century Protestantism, as a rejection of a perceived loss of centralised power due to the Protestant Reformation. Advocates of Restorationism rejected denominational divisions, early Christian creeds, and traditions they interpreted as corruption, instead seeking to return to a purer, more primitive faith. Restorationist denominations often claim to be the one true church in a similar way to medieval Catholicism.
Some restorationist churches are less radical and follow orthodox Christian doctrines such as trinitarianism. Examples include the Seventh Day Adventist church and the Primitive Baptists. The vast majority however, would broadly claim these orthodoxies are pagan additions, instead siding with long disproved heresies. Examples include the Jehovah's Witnesses, who teach Arianism and the Mormon church, which teaches Tritheism.
Restorationism is sometimes considered a form of Protestantism, but is also sometimes grouped as a separate category of denominations.
