Jesus Christ is the founder of Christianity, so it began with him. He was born in Bethlehem of Judea in Israel. The coming of Jesus Christ as the Messiah who would save the world from their sins was first told by God himself when Adam and Eve first sinned in the Garden of Eden. Christians were first called "Christians" in Antioch, but Antioch wasn't the the place where Christianity first began. It was already well under way.
Christianity began in Israel - the Middle East. The first time the term 'Christian' was used was in Antioch, Turkey today (ancient Syria then) - see Acts 11:26
The term was first coined in Antioch in the middle first century: Acts 11:26New International Version (NIV) 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
