Church of Christ, Instrumental
The Church of Christ, Instrumental, also known as Kelleyites, are a baptistic body of Christians based in central Arkansas.Elder E. J. Lambert, a Primitive Baptist minister who was raised among this body, and whose father was a minister of the Church of Christ, Instrumental, in his autobiography consistently refers to them as the Church of Christ (Kelly Division of Missionary Baptists).Kelley was born in 1817 in what is now Pike County, Arkansas, but in early adulthood he moved to Illinois.The next year the Red River Association excluded Samuel Kelley and his followers.[9] In addition to baptism and the Lord's supper, they also hold feet washing as an ordinance.This article reveals an interest in self-preservation - though they desire fellowship with other Christians, they also seek to preserve what they feel in their unique heritage.
