Timeline of Christianity facts for kids
This timeline shows the history of Christianity from its start until today. Sometimes, a question mark next to a date means the exact year is not certain.
Most of the world uses the Gregorian calendar. This calendar has been used since 1582. It replaced the Julian calendar, which was not very accurate. The Gregorian calendar added leap years to make sure the year length was more correct.
The Gregorian calendar counts years from before or after the birth of Jesus. Years before Jesus's birth are called BC (Before Christ) or BCE (Before the Common Era). Years after are called AD (anno Domini, meaning "in the year of our Lord") or CE (Common Era).
The "year one" is the first year in the Common Era. There is no year zero. Scholars tried to figure out when Jesus was born. They now think it was probably between 6 BC and 4 BC.

The Time of Jesus
This part of the timeline focuses on events in the area where Jesus was born. This region is now called Israel and Palestine. Back then, the Romans ruled it.
- 1 AD: This year was once thought to be when Jesus was born. But experts now believe this calculation was wrong.
- 6 AD: Herod Archelaus was removed from his rule by the Roman Emperor Augustus. The Romans combined areas like Samaria and Judea into a new province called "Iudaea." Quirinius became the Governor of Syria. He took a census (counted the people), which some Jewish groups, like the Zealots, did not like (Luke 2:1–3).
- 7–26 AD: This was a time of peace in Iudaea and Galilee. There were not many revolts or much bloodshed.
- 9 AD: Hillel the Elder, a leader of the Pharisees, died.
- 14–37 AD: Tiberius was the Roman emperor.
- 18–36 AD: Caiaphas was the High Priest of Herod's Temple. He was later removed by a Roman official.
- 19 AD: Jews and others were told to leave Rome.
- 26–36 AD: Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor of Iudaea. He was called back to Rome because people complained about his harsh actions.
- 28 or 29 AD: John the Baptist started his ministry. He told people to "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near" (Matt 3:1–2). John was a relative of Jesus (Luke 1:36). He baptized Jesus (Mark 1:4–11). Later, Herod Antipas arrested and beheaded John (Luke 3:19–20).
Jesus began his ministry after John baptized him. He also preached: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near" (Matt 4:12–17).
Many scholars study the life of Jesus. Traditional Christian beliefs about his ministry include:
- His temptation in the desert.
- The Sermon on the Mount, where he taught many important lessons.
- Choosing his Twelve Apostles.
- Performing many miracles.
- The Last Supper with his disciples.
- His arrest and trial.
- His Crucifixion on Good Friday.
- His resurrection (coming back to life) on Easter Sunday.
- His appearances to his followers.
- The Ascension, when he went up to heaven.
Christians believe Jesus will have a Second Coming. This will fulfill prophecies like the Resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment, and the start of the Kingdom of God.
The Era of the Apostles
Soon after Jesus's Crucifixion of Jesus, the first Christian church was formed in Jerusalem. It had about 120 Jews (Acts 1:15). This was followed by Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came upon the believers.
