Acts chapter 9 referred to the belief system that Paul became a part of as "The Way," primarily because it was a way of life rather than the the religion of the Pharisees who had and preached a belief system, including god's laws, but did not live it as a way of life.
ANSWER:
The Apostle Paul was the first member of the church which is the body of Christ, so the body of Christ started in Acts 9. Paul didn't start it, God did.
1 Timothy 1:15-16
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that IN ME FIRST Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
According to Romans 11 the nation Israel is temporarily fallen, due to their rejection of God; the Father, thru John the baptist. The Son: Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit's ministry prior to Acts 9, thru Stephen. So the kingdom program, preached during Jesus Christ's earthly ministry to the nation Israel, is put on hold, as God now works on a new program: The body of Christ program, or the dispensation of the grace of God, which ends at the rapture; the calling out of the church, prior to the great tribulation.
Paul's epistles (Romans thru Philemon) covers the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the MYSTERY, which was kept secret since the world began.... The ascended, glorified Jesus Christ (as he spoke from heaven, not from earth) revealed it to Paul.

Book that tells us about the first people to belong to the christian church?
Acts of the Apostles has long been regarded as a history of the early Church. The Acts Seminar was set up to review the book carefully and look for evidence of historicity in Acts. It determined that the book was written in the second century and does not accurately record events and personalities of the early church. Scholars participating in the Seminar concluded (See Acts and Christian Beginnings) that Acts is "a primary resource for understanding second-century Christianity", as the book writes of events and purported events in the time of Peter and Paul as if they took place at the time of writing.

Mostly his exploits as a missionary, but also some details before and around the time of his conversion. Most of what we know about Paul is in the book of Acts, that was written by Luke the evangelist, and there are some things that Paul reveals about himself in his epistles to the churches. In Acts 7:58 - 8:3 there is a brief mention of Saul (Paul's name before it was changed - Acts 13:9) There he is involved in the stoning of Stephen, the first martyr of the church. After that Saul becomes one of the chief persecutors of the church, working with the Sanhedrin but mostly on his own initiative. In Acts ch.9 we can read about Saul's conversion, and from then on he becomes the central character of the book of Acts.
