Somehow I get the impression there's an abundance of inaccuracies for WV(I could be wrong). Anyway, this one was a real eye opener.

47. The Christian Church was begun in West Virginia by Alexander Campbell in Bethany.

According to the apostle Luke when he was given revelation to write the book of Acts, the Christian Church was begun in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost by the promise of God through the sacrifice of His Son.

No internet sources needed, I have The Word sitting in my lap. \o/

"47. The Christian Church was begun in West Virginia by Alexander Campbell in Bethany."

They are talking about the denomination now better known as the Disciples of Christ.

I believe that the Church of Christ is also Campbellite.

Campbellites tend to believe that they are the only Christians and may believe that you have to be baptised in oune of their churches to be saved. So they have no compunction about calling themselves the Christian Church.
