Best Answer

The mid-first century (around 50CE).

Christianity began in Judea, a country in what now is Israel. Jesus was born there probably in or a few years before 4 B.C.

It was made as Jesus gathered together the Apostles...or the first true "Christians" as followers and later to become evangelist and the first Pope, St. Peter. Christianity was begun during the life of Christ. In its essence, Christianity is following the teachings and life of Christ. This would make the first Christians the 12 disciples whom Jesus originally called to follow him before he began his teaching travels.

After his death we would say that the Christian movement was called "the way." It would not be until later during the Roman Christianization began that they would be called Christians, or the ones of Christ.
We read in the book of Acts, after Christ's ascension; at Pentecost, 2000 were added to the church and thousands followed. Christianity was not 'founded' per se, but Christ's followers were first called Christians at Antioch. The Christian church (church meaning the body of believers,not a building) is still being added to, today.

Christianity was founded by Jesus of Nazareth during his ministry in the regions of Galilee and Judea in the 1st Century. It is beleived Jesus began his ministry around 30 AD. Scholars dispute the date but it was around this time.
According to The Bible account Jesus began his ministry after being Baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist.

Christians believe that Christianity was founded following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, in either 30 or 33 CE. There is some evidence that Christianity may be even older than this, but this is inconclusive at best.

From all the hints in the Scripture, many biblical scholars point to 31 A.D. as the best fit. During that year, God's Holy Spirit was made available to repentant disciples of Christ beginning on the first Pentecost Sunday on 17 June 31 A.D.. This was 50 days - the meaning of Pentecost - after Jesus resurrected on Saturday, 27 April 31 A.D..
