The Christian Standard is a religious periodical associated with the Restoration Movement that was established in 1866.

[1] During the early 20th century the Standard took an editorial stance against modernism and liberalism, and opposed the acceptance of "open membership" by the United Christian Missionary Society (UCMS).
