Background
The Church of the Force are an underground monastic spiritual cult centered on the teachings and principles of the Jedi Order. It existed since the days of the Galactic Empire.
History
The Church of the Force existed as an underground movement since the age of the Galactic Empire - when the Jedi Knights were hunted to near-extinction, despite the propaganda created by the Empire regarding the Jedi as traitors of the Galactic Republic, all the members of Church of the Force like Lor San Tekka, did not believe the Empire's lies about the Jedi. The members of the Church of the Force spent years researching the history of the Jedi; which would eventually helped Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi Master, establish a New Jedi Order.
